The causes of white spots on children’s teeth are mostly considered to be related to decalcification of hard tissues of teeth, enamel hypoplasia, dental fluorosis and other factors.
1. Decalcification of hard tissues of teeth: also called demineralization of teeth, its main reason is not to maintain good oral hygiene or often eat acidic foods, etc., the mouth is in an acidic environment for a long time, the calcium and phosphorus ions on the surface of the teeth are slowly decomposed and lost, the teeth become fragile, exposing the enamel, and white spots appear on the teeth. In this case, you should brush your teeth diligently, eat less sweets, and maintain oral hygiene.
2. Dental enamel hypoplasia: During the period of tooth development, due to systemic and local reasons, such as malnutrition, local infections, etc., enamel defects appear in the process of development, showing small white spots or small pits.
3. Dental fluorosis: It is caused by excessive fluorine intake during the development of teeth, which is manifested as chalky to brownish plaques on the enamel of teeth with varying degrees. You can choose to repair, bleaching and other methods of treatment.
In short, children appear to have white spots on the teeth, should promptly go to the hospital, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
