The reason for the transparency of the teeth is a weak enamel
Transparent teeth in children can appear inas a result of hypoplasia – a pathology of tissue development. Most often, the cause of this phenomenon is a lack of nutrients in the body. For example, if a woman deprives herself of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium during pregnancy, most likely this will not have the best effect on the baby's teeth. That is why it is so important to take vitamins. There are other reasons that cause hypoplasia in a child:
- Heredity.
- Bad ecology.
- Improper diet - due to the large amount of sweet juices, candies, carbonated beverages in the baby's diet, tooth enamel collapses due to the effects of acids.
- Frequent treatment with antibiotics, drugs that contain acid in their composition.
In any case, if you notice a change in the color of your child's tooth enamel, you should consult a specialist about this.
We are struggling with the problem of transparent teeth
What to do with transparent teeth in a child?First of all, it is worth consulting a specialist about this. He will prescribe a treatment that will help strengthen the enamel. In order to prevent the development of dental caries, carefully monitor your child's dental hygiene and buy him only high-quality toothpastes that will enrich the teeth with useful microelements - fluoride and calcium. If the child has problems with the enamel of the teeth, he can only use a brush with soft bristles to brush his teeth. In addition, with hypoplasia, it is recommended to periodically do professional teeth cleaning and take deep fluoridation courses. Fluoridation is the saturation of tooth enamel with fluoride in order to restore its mineral composition. The deep fluoridation procedure allows you to saturate the micropores of the enamel with fluoride. As a result of this procedure, it becomes significantly stronger. In addition, transparent teeth in a child are a reason to make changes to his diet. You should not give him sweet and sour dishes. It is better to give preference to fish, eggs and dairy products. If you take action in time, the enamel of your teeth will become stronger and become the usual white color. Read more:
