How to treat black teeth in a 1-year-old baby

Many babies have black teeth, which seriously affects the baby's development. Many babies have black teeth and are very painful. Therefore, many babies' dental problems require their parents to pay more attention. Once a problem occurs, timely treatment is required. So how to treat black teeth of a one-year-old baby? Let me introduce this issue to you below.

There are several possible reasons why teeth turn black.

1. Dental pulp necrosis, history of trauma or severe caries, the whole tooth becomes dark and loses its luster;

2. Caries, defects on the tooth;

3. Exogenous pigmentation, such as eating foods like chocolate, can easily cause tooth staining. Traditional Chinese medicine can also cause tooth staining.

Primary teeth can develop caries soon after they erupt. If your baby's newborn teeth are normal, but gradually turn black and have defects, he may be suffering from baby bottle caries, which is early widespread caries caused by long-term bottle feeding. Since the deciduous teeth have just erupted, the immature tooth surface structure is more susceptible to decalcification by acid. Milk and various sugary drinks in the bottle adhere to the tooth surface for a long time, or falling asleep with a bottle in the mouth will result in less saliva secretion and poor oral self-cleaning ability.

Treatment: Stop bottle-feeding and switch to a spoon or cup. Stop the habit of sucking on a pacifier to fall asleep. Actively treat caries. Check regularly. Pay attention to oral hygiene. Mothers can put soft gauze on their fingers, dip it in clean water or light salt water, and gently scrub the baby's small teeth after each meal. This not only cleans the mouth, but also helps the growth of teeth. Try not to eat sweets after going to bed at night, and drink some boiled water after meals. If your baby only has black spots on his teeth but the tooth surface is smooth without any defects, it may be pigmentation. Be careful not to eat too much food that can easily stain the teeth and pay attention to oral hygiene.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the baby has the above problems, then the baby must pay attention to timely treatment to ensure the health of the body and avoid the situation where the baby’s safety is affected by the above problems, especially the baby’s teeth problems, to avoid affecting the baby’s health due to dental problems.
