The causes of black teeth in children
Plaque is formed due to thin and sensitiveenamel of baby teeth and "weak" saliva, which is not able to destroy microbes and bacteria. In addition, the child's body has low resistance to infections and viruses. All diseases develop rapidly and require prompt treatment.
To prevent children from having black teeth, visit the dentist regularly. Photo: Getty Teeth turn black, become covered with plaque or stains, and crumble for the following reasons:
Congenital defect. "Provoke" his infectious diseases of the expectant mother during pregnancy, improper diet and regimen, taking strong medications. With a congenital defect, the teeth are cut at once black. This is due to the thinning or lack of enamel on the tooth areas.
Caries. It arises from frequent feeding from a bottle and eating sweet food. Microbes are transmitted to the baby from adults, when parents lick his pacifier or cutlery.
Plaque Priestley. It is formed by special pigment-forming bacteria. Often the raid disappears on its own. For reasons include dysbacteriosis and low activity of saliva.
Unbalanced nutrition. The lack of vitamins and minerals or their excess leads to a blackening of the teeth.
Non-compliance with hygiene. If you do not wash dishes daily, a baby's dummy and bottle or do not brush your teeth, an ideal environment for the life of microbes will be created.
Changes in enamel color occur as a result of serious illnesses, taking antibiotics, and eating foods containing strong food dyes.
What if the child has black teeth
Visit a pediatric dentist and undergo a full examination. Depending on the condition of the teeth, the doctor will prescribe the necessary treatment.
In caries, the silvering method orfluorination. First, the enamel is cleaned of plaque, and then a special solution is applied. Procedures are painless. Minus - effective only at the initial stage of caries development. In contrast to fluoridation, with silvering, a black coating appears.
If tooth decay is started, clean or remove the tooth.
With a lack of nutrients, vitamin and mineral complexes are prescribed.
It is recommended to cancel the night feeding from the bottle.
Dysbacteriosis or other serious diseases are treated by a pediatrician and gastroenterologist. The dentist eliminates the symptom, not the cause.
