The teeth of the kids are temporary, but they also cause a lot of trouble. Painfully erupt, deteriorate, often in children teeth plaque can be observed, often pulpitis or caries develops on milk teeth.
The appearance of plaque
As a rule, all problems with teeth in childhood begin precisely with the formation of plaque. If the parent finds that the child has a plaque, this should be a signal that more attention should be paid to conducting hygiene procedures and the condition of the oral cavity.
Dental plaque is an accumulation of bacteria. It is he who often causes the development of caries, the inflammatory process in the gums and the formation of tartar. It is worth noting that plaque on the teeth of babies does not always appear due to poor performance or a complete lack of oral hygiene. Often, it can be a symptom of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and other diseases.
Most often, in childhood, yellowish or white plaque can be observed. It usually consists of particles of epithelium, bacteria and food residues. Such a plaque is usually especially actively formed at night, when microorganisms that make up the natural microflora of the oral cavity multiply rapidly. Good oral hygiene will be enough to get rid of a yellowish or white coating.
Remember: it is very important to teach children to brush their teeth both in the morning and in the evening.
Additional measures should be taken if plaque is darker, from brown to greenish or black. As a rule, this phenomenon indicates the development of dysbiosis in a child. In this case, complex treatment and a mandatory consultation with the dentist will be required.
Brown, gray or intensely yellow plaque on the teeth of a child indicates a possible development of caries. Often we are talking about the so-called bottle caries. It develops in infants who at night suck a bottle of juice, a sweet milk mixture. If the baby is still too small to treat teeth at the dentist, a specialist will recommend making enamel coating active calcium or silver.
Such measures are temporary. A full treatment should be carried out as soon as the baby is older.
