What should I do if my child's teeth turn yellow?

If a child's newly replaced teeth turn yellow, it means that the child's tooth roots are unhealthy. During the children's growth and development, tetracycline will slowly deposit on the teeth, causing the teeth to turn yellow. If the child does not have problems such as cavities, daily habits and diet need to be corrected. Here are the causes of yellow teeth, how to clean your teeth yourself without going to the hospital, and how to correct yellow teeth through diet.

1. What is the reason for yellow teeth in children with enamel hypoplasia? During the period of child replacement, parents find that the newly grown permanent teeth are yellower than the deciduous teeth. This is a normal phenomenon. This is because the degree of calcification of permanent teeth is higher than that of deciduous teeth. In other words, the transparency of the outermost layer of enamel of permanent teeth is better than that of deciduous teeth, so it is easy to show the yellow dentin of the inner layer, which is what we call enamel hypoplasia.

Warm reminder: However, if the tooth discoloration is serious, please seek medical attention in time and ask the dentist to identify it.

2 Yellowing of children's teeth may be related to dental fluorosis. What is the reason for yellowing of children's teeth? During the period of children's tooth replacement, yellowing of teeth may be related to dental fluorosis. Dental fluorosis, also known as mottled enamel or yellow dental plaque, is a dental disease related to excessive fluoride content in drinking water. If children drink water with excessive fluoride or use excessive fluoride toothpaste during the calcification period of tooth development before the age of seven or eight, it may harm the enamel-forming cells of the tooth germ. It is a type of enamel hypoplasia caused by excessive fluoride intake during the calcification period of tooth development. This disease is an endemic disease and its occurrence is very regional.

Causes of dental fluorosis in children

1. Although using fluoride toothpaste can effectively prevent and treat tooth decay, it also has side effects. If used improperly, it can easily lead to fluorosis.

2. There is a very small boundary between the anti-caries effect of fluoride and its toxicity. Excessive intake of fluoride will cause spots on the teeth, which is called fluorosis. In severe cases, teeth may turn yellow, become rough and prone to chipping.

3. For children whose swallowing control ability is not yet perfect, accidentally swallowing fluoride toothpaste will increase the intake of fluoride, and excessive fluoride can easily lead to fluorosis.

1. Contains vinegar

Hold the vinegar in your mouth for 1 to 3 minutes, then spit it out and brush your teeth. It can achieve the effect of whitening teeth. But be aware that your teeth will feel very sour and numb (lasting about 2 minutes). This method cannot be used frequently and can be done once every two months or so. Otherwise it will hurt your teeth.

2. Brush your teeth with orange peels

After drying the orange peel, grind it into powder. Every time you brush your teeth, mix it with toothpaste and orange peel powder, and then brush your teeth. It has a good whitening effect.

3. Toothpaste with lemon juice for brushing

Every time you brush your teeth, you can use a toothbrush or gauze or cotton dipped in lemon juice to brush. Lemon juice has a strong cleansing effect and can whiten teeth. And the rich VC in it can strengthen the teeth.

Lemon juice whitens teeth. Every night after brushing your teeth, dip some gauze in lemon juice and rub your teeth, and your teeth will become snow-white and shiny. Lemon has strong cleansing power, whitens teeth and contains vitamin C, which can strengthen tooth roots.

Orange peel powder can be used as toothpaste to clean teeth. Grind orange peel into fine powder and mix a little bit of it into toothpaste when brushing your teeth every day. It will not only make your teeth snow-white and your mouth full of fragrance, but because orange peel also has a strong antiseptic and sterilization effect, long-term use can effectively strengthen teeth.

Tips for removing tartar and smoke stains with vinegar. People who smoke frequently will have a layer of black and yellow smoke stains on their teeth, which is difficult to brush off with toothpaste, but brushing with vinegar can remove the stains and make the teeth white. Take half a mouthful of vinegar, gargle in your mouth for 2-3 minutes, then spit it out, brush your teeth vigorously, and finally rinse with clean water. Repeat several times to remove the smoke stains.

Cuttlefish bone powder can effectively clean teeth. Grind the cuttlefish bones into fine powder and use it to brush your teeth, which can whiten yellow teeth.

Daily teeth whitening methods: If you want to whiten your teeth, eat more vitamin C-containing tooth-protecting foods. If you lack vitamin C, periodontal disease may occur, so you must eat tooth-protecting foods rich in vitamin C every day.
