My son is now 2.9 years old and the black dirt were appeared since he was around 2.5. I have checked the dentist but he said it coz by food color (e.g. soy sauce, tea or some kinda dark color food). I have doubted because we rarely eat black or dark color food (very less chances seasons the food with soy sauces, not even drink tea). If not cause by eating dark color of food, what to coz that? Will that coz by lacking some kind of Vit?
My son has this problem too. We discovered that when he was 1.5 yrs. We saw 2 dentists. Both of them said that it is just stain that food left on. We can ask the child to drink water after eating each time and brush his teeth every day. One of them told us that some children have this problem because of gene. You may not clean away all the stain but it will become better by brushing teeth every day, using toothpaste contains fluoride to avoid tooth decay. When it really affects appearance, you may consider cleaning by dentist. But this will scare very young children so don't do that unless it is neccessary. It should not affect permanent teeth.
My son is 3 now. He now brushes his teeth and then we double brush for him. Dentist said that this makes children understand that brushing teeth is their responsibility and should be done twice a day. Parents should brush for them as young children cannot clean their teeth thoroughly. There is still stain on his teeth but it does not affect appearance.作者: mbox21 時間: 2010-3-18 08:55
My son brush his teeth since he got 4 tooth and twice a day. That's why, I dont really believe it caused by not brushing the teeth well...I really think it must be something out of dentist knows.作者: godwine 時間: 2010-3-18 10:17
My girl had the same proble before and checked with doctors too. Same here, doctor said that was only the color. So we tried 電動牙刷, the stain got off in a month. If your doctor agree that that was color stain only, maybe you can try 電動牙刷 too. The food these days is not the same as before.作者: mbox21 時間: 2010-3-18 19:26

I tried couple brands, braun works well, it's about $8X. If your child is under 3years old, please stand by and make sure he/she doesn't scretch on the gum too much.作者: disney15a 時間: 2010-3-18 23:06
my daughter is almost 3 yrs old, and she got black dirt when she was 7 mths. By that time, as advised by my friend, I bought some chinese 箹材 namely 木"擦", something like 未煮的長通粉, very cheap (just a few $) and u can buy from 中箹店 like "Yu Yan Sang". What i did is soak it in the water for a while, then use it as a tooth brush and brush the dirt area. And it works! Of course as i didn't know if there is any negative impact to the quality of the teeth, that's why i did not use many times, just a few times, and after all dirt was cleaned, i didn't use it. And recently my daughter's teeth got dirt again, and i used this method again and it also worked!作者: zoesychan 時間: 2010-3-19 14:13
