Patient's question:
My child is six years old now. Recently, I noticed some black spots on his molars, looking dirty, and there's a small hole on the surface of his molars. However, he has never experienced any pain. I'm worried it might be a cavity. Originally, I wanted to take him to the hospital to see, but he's now starting to lose his teeth again. My colleagues told me it's nothing to worry about and that there's no need to take him in. It will be fine once his teeth have fully replaced. Yesterday, I noticed that one of his front lower teeth is slightly loose, and inside the loose tooth, there's a small new tooth growing.Doctor's answer:
A child is six years old, with black spots on their teeth. Besides small holes, it should be dental caries, which the common people call "tooth worms." It is generally related to eating too much sugar and poor oral hygiene.Advice: First, it's important to develop good habits—brush and floss regularly to maintain oral hygiene.
2. Eat less sweet food.
3. If there are no symptoms and the surface shows no decay, it may not need treatment; if there are holes on the surface, it should be repaired.
4. After the permanent teeth come in, they need to be well-cared for. If not, the new teeth can also decay quickly.
The above advice is for the question "Doctor, my child is six years old. Recently, I noticed black spots on his big teeth." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
