There are three types of children's plaque:

white
yellow
dark (black or brown)

The reasons for the appearance of plaque vary from the color of the child's plaque. At first, the plaque may not be at all noticeable and not provide inconvenience. However, over time, it grows, darkens, becomes more extensive and more noticeable. This is an environment for the development of bacteria and harmful microorganisms. Soft for years is able to turn into a real tartar over time.

Why does a yellow plaque on the teeth appear in children?

Insufficient oral hygiene leads to the appearance of yellow plaque on the child’s teeth. Unfortunately, for children's teeth, unlike adults, this is bad news. Yellow plaque is a direct harbinger of caries, because children's teeth are more sensitive. Milk teeth more aggressively perceive the acidic environment and bacteria.

Often yellow plaque can be seen in infants who have not yet abandoned the bottle and nipples. This habit can provoke the appearance of caries at an early age. It is worth accustoming the child to drink from cups and special plastic drinkers.

The nipple is able to accumulate bacteria and spread them in the oral cavity — the nipple is able to accumulate bacteria and spread them in the oral cavity

regularly visit the dental office for inspection
brush your teeth twice a day

A raid on the teeth of a child 1 year: causes

A raid on the teeth in young children is also called "bottle caries." All because such children before bedtime and during the night can drink sweet bottle milk.

Since salivation at night is much less than during the day. The remnants of milk stay on the teeth for a long time and oxidize, giving the opportunity to cover themselves with a plaque and develop caries.

At night, salivation is weaker and does not wash off particles of milk with a tooth, giving the opportunity to settle the raid — at night, salivation is weaker and does not wash off particles of milk with a tooth, giving the opportunity to settle the raid

Not timely elimination of the problem is able to rapidly develop the disease of caries on milk teeth, which will affect all the tissues. The development of "bottle caries" also affects:

the weakened immunity of the child
not proper diet during the day
poor water for drinking (not saturated with useful minerals)
heredity

Important: the development of the disease depends only on how much parents care about their child. It is necessary to regularly check the condition of the teeth of your baby, clean with special rubber brushes for infants or a finger wrapped in a gauze bandage.

What is the difference between plaque on milk teeth from plaque on permanent teeth?

You can safely note: healthy teeth are a healthy child! If you do not deal with the early signs of teeth pathology, you can run the problem in the future and lead the baby to suffering.

Milk teeth are very different from constant. The enamel of the milk tooth is several times thinner and more sensitive. It reacts sharply to temperature changes, it is not so strong and strongly susceptible to microbes. This means that any plaque that has settled on his teeth is able to lead to imminent caries.

Salivation in children under 2 years of age is not so bactericidal, that is, it is not able to eliminate pathogens from the teeth. Therefore, if you do not carry out any additional measures to get rid of the raid, you can correctly start the problem that pathogenic microbes develop.

Important: to help your baby monitor the purity of the oral cavity is simply necessary because he does not know how to do this on his own.

Caries and plaque on the teeth of a child at an early age

The first caries can occur in children of the age of two, and in some "neglected" cases earlier. Everything is because parents allow random feeding, feed in the middle of the night (milk), encourage the use of sugar and sweets, do not seek to accustom children to hygiene, lick a spoon, dummy of the child (there are much larger in the mouth of adult bacteria).
