The reason why the teeth of a one and a half year old baby turn black

I believe some parents have had this experience: their baby’s teeth turn black. Many parents think that their children’s teeth will always be replaced, so it doesn’t matter even if there are any problems. But in fact, even if there is a problem with a child's deciduous teeth, it will have a great impact on the future development of the teeth. What's going on with children's teeth turning black? Why do teeth turn black? Let me introduce to you the reasons why a one and a half year old baby's 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.

When a two or three-year-old child knows how to brush his teeth, parents must first brush their teeth in the morning and evening. Every time they brush their teeth, parents should take their children to brush together, pay attention to the quality of their brushing, slowly cultivate the habit, and let the children trust their parents. Moreover, children's toothbrushes must be soft, the handle must be easy to grip, and the brush head must be a size suitable for the child's mouth, so that it can move flexibly and brush the entire area more thoroughly. At the same time, do not let your baby use adult toothpaste as it can easily damage the oral mucosa.

The above introduces the reasons why the teeth of one and a half year old babies turn black. In daily life, parents should pay attention to their children's reasonable and healthy eating and living habits. It is also very important to maintain a positive attitude. I hope these methods will be effective for you. These are just textual explanations. If you have any questions, be sure to seek medical attention immediately. Get better faster and better devote yourself to work and life.
