Patient's question:
What causes the white buildup on the upper and lower jaws? It just appeared recently, and there's no pain or itching. I only noticed it while brushing my teeth. Both the upper and lower jaws have this white substance. Should I go to the hospital to check it?Doctor's answer:
Generally, no special treatment is required. Do not listen to the elderly's advice to rub it off with a cloth or pull it out, as this can easily cause infection. It usually falls out after the milk teeth erupt or after a period of time. It generally does not cause other effects. If there is no change after a long time, it is still recommended to go to the hospital for treatment. It is generally advised to pay more attention to rest and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
