What causes white spots on children's teeth?

Some parents find a phenomenon when taking care of their babies, that is, there are white spots on the baby's teeth. When faced with this problem, parents will be panicked because they don’t know what causes it, nor do they know how to effectively deal with and solve it. So here we will give you a detailed introduction to the reasons why white spots appear on children’s teeth, as well as scientific and effective treatment methods.

White spots on teeth are caused by tooth demineralization. Tooth demineralization is actually a manifestation of enamel hypoplasia. Enamel hypoplasia refers to abnormal enamel structure caused by disease, nutritional disorders or severe periapical infection of deciduous teeth during tooth development. The main manifestations are mild cases in which the enamel morphology is intact, with only changes in color and transparency, becoming chalky, and generally without subjective symptoms. In severe cases, there are substantial defects on the tooth surface, such as band-shaped or pit-shaped brown depressions on the enamel surface.

It is very difficult to treat children with incomplete tooth enamel, and there is basically nothing that can be done in the hospital.

First of all, we must pay attention to daily nutrition and make sure to give your baby enough calcium supplements, especially vitamins C and D. Don't use ordinary toothpaste. Ordinary toothpaste has no effect on the oral cavity, it only cleans it. Be sure to choose a children's toothpaste that is effective.

Currently in China, there is only one product that can treat children with imperfect enamel, called Oral-V children's toothpaste. The OP can try Oral-V fluoride-free children's toothpaste. I have found BabyMin to be very good. The main ingredient in the product, NovaMin, reacts rapidly and continuously with water and saliva, releasing ions to promote the growth of tooth tissue: a stable crystalline hydroxyphosphate limestone layer is mineralized on the enamel surface, replenishing the minerals of the tooth structure to safely and quickly repair the enamel function. The effect of this toothpaste from Oral-V is really good, but it is a bit expensive. However, if it works, it is worth it.

Because every parent hopes that their children can grow up healthily, they will of course be more worried when encountering these problems. Therefore, it is hoped that in life, parents can pay more attention to the understanding of these common sense, so that when they find that their children are affected by these problems, they can help them solve them in time.
