Black tartar on baby's teeth

The health of teeth has always been worthy of everyone's attention. If there is black tartar on the baby's teeth, this situation is worth parents' deep consideration, because many times after children have eaten sweets or just finished a meal, parents do not brush their children's teeth for oral cleaning due to time constraints, which naturally leads to the appearance of black tartar on the teeth.

Several ways to remove dental plaque

(1) Vinegar method

Take some vinegar and hold it in your mouth, gargle it but do not spit it out. Hold it in your mouth for two or three minutes and then spit it out. Then brush it with a toothbrush and finally rinse your mouth with warm water. Or when brushing your teeth, add two drops of vinegar to the toothpaste and brush your teeth. This will remove the tartar. (This method cleans teeth but hurts them)

(2) Brown sugar brushing method

First, take an appropriate amount of brown sugar and put it in your mouth. Hold it for about 15 minutes to soak all the teeth in the sugar solution. Then use a harder toothbrush to brush your teeth repeatedly for two or three minutes. Then use light salt water to brush your teeth for one or two minutes. Do this once in the morning and evening every day for a week to remove the stains.

(3) White alum toothbrushing method: Grind 50 grams of white alum into powder, apply some powder to your toothbrush and brush your teeth twice a day to remove yellow tartar.

The above are all simple methods to remove dental plaque. As long as you can keep your teeth free of dental plaque, tartar will not form. Once tartar is formed, the above methods will be of little use and you will have to ask your dentist to scrape it off with instruments. This is a time-consuming, incomplete and tooth-damaging method. Using an ultrasonic dental cleaner to remove tartar is more effective.

Prevention methods

The main way to prevent dental plaque is to maintain good oral hygiene. Rinse your mouth with clean water after each meal or snack. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening, especially at night. When brushing your teeth, you should use the vertical brushing method (brush along the gaps between teeth) to brush the inside, outside and top of the teeth. In addition, when eating, chew with both teeth. Some people are used to chewing with one side of their teeth. In this way, the unused side has less friction, making it easier for plaque and tartar to accumulate. If you often eat fruits or raw vegetables after meals, such as cucumbers and crisp radishes, the friction of fruit pulp and melons can also help remove food residues and tartar.

2. Dietary structure: Thoroughly chewing crude fiber foods rich in vitamins is beneficial to the cleaning of the tooth surface. Fine cakes, sweets, and sticky snacks are easily deposited on the tooth surface and easily form tartar. You must brush your teeth and rinse your mouth in time after eating such foods.
