What causes black spots on one-year-old baby's teeth?

Teeth are an important part of our lives and an important organ of our body. We need them to eat and smile, so the protection of teeth cannot be ignored. This is even more true for babies. If their dental problems are not treated early, it will cause a lot of trouble to their growth. Let’s take a look at the relevant knowledge about black spots on the teeth of one-year-old babies. I hope this can help all parents.

1. Are the black spots more obvious near the gums? If the surface hardness of the teeth is normal and there are no defects, then the most likely reason is pigmentation, which is related to the black sesame seeds you feed him. Pigmentation does not corrode the teeth, but it is unsightly. It is recommended that you feed him some clean water to clean his mouth after eating black sesame seeds. Brushing your teeth carefully every day can also lighten the pigmentation.

2. It produces acid, which causes tooth decalcification and tooth decay (especially the maxillary incisors. The mandibular incisors are covered by the tongue and are less likely to be affected). Over the years, it may even cause serious diffuse caries, so you must be careful. In addition, try not to feed your baby before bedtime to comfort him/her. After feeding, you should clean his/her mouth or drink some hot water instead of letting your baby sleep directly. As for adding sugary fruit juice to milk, it is even worse. Once the baby falls asleep, the lip movements decrease, the saliva secretion also decreases, the self-cleaning ability of the mouth decreases, bacteria are easy to breed, and the deciduous teeth are relatively fragile, so it is easy to suffer from "baby bottle caries". Don’t breastfeed while sleeping! ! Feeding your baby before bed so that he or she can fall asleep slowly can easily lead to "bottle tooth decay", but when the baby is unconscious, the oropharyngeal muscles are not coordinated enough and cannot be effectively protected, which can easily cause the risk of choking.

3. According to your description, you have tooth decay. Once tooth decay is formed, you must find a doctor to grind off the black carious tissue and then repair it to prevent further development of tooth decay. Caries cannot heal on its own.
