Black streaks appear on teeth

Everyone wants to have white and strong teeth, but sometimes things don't go as planned. Many people suffer from tooth decay. Babies having tooth decay is really a headache for parents. Baby, this is infant caries, that is, tooth decay that occurs in early childhood. In terms of the position of teeth in the mouth, the upper front teeth are most susceptible to infant caries. After suffering from caries, the teeth may first turn from yellow to black, and then the teeth may have tooth tissue defects, which is the most common.

Some foods, foods containing pigments, and even traditional Chinese medicine can have pigments that remain on the surface of teeth and cause them to turn black. If conditions permit, you can go to the hospital for a check-up, because we usually say that children start to grow teeth at 6 months old, and should be within 6 to 12 months. If you take your child to a professional dental hospital pediatric department for a check-up, the doctor will do an oral examination for your child and give you some feeding advice.

The susceptibility to dental caries in childhood is related to the following reasons:

1. The calcification degree of deciduous teeth is low and the acid resistance is poor;

2. Children’s diets are mostly soft, sticky foods that are high in sugar, easy to ferment and produce acid, such as cakes, candies, chocolates, etc.

3. Children have poor self-care ability and poor oral hygiene, which makes it easy for food and soft plaque to remain on the tooth surface and produce acid;

4. Children sleep for a long time, which reduces saliva secretion during sleep, which is conducive to the growth of bacteria and pathogenicity, and increases the chance of dental caries;

5. Children eat less fiber-containing foods, which is not conducive to tooth surface cleaning;

6. The shape of deciduous teeth is conducive to food residue and bacterial reproduction, leading to tooth decay.
