The gaps between teeth turn black

Many people have increasingly higher requirements for their image after adulthood, especially for parts of the body that are often exposed. Many people want to have an angelic smile. A mouthful of white teeth can make people's smile more contagious. Some people find that the gaps between their teeth are getting darker. Why does this happen? The gaps between teeth are getting darker because it is a sign that the teeth are about to decay. Let's learn about the specific reasons.

1. Causes of black teeth

Dental health should not be underestimated. Teeth are exposed bones. Although they are very hard, they can also be susceptible to many diseases, such as the problem of blackening of the gaps between teeth.

No one wants to have a black gap between teeth that is most noticeable when smiling. Blackened teeth are usually caused by interproximal caries, which means that the sides of the teeth have been decayed and decayed, so they are black. If not treated in time, caries will be the final result. This is mainly due to improper brushing, which leads to food residues and bacteria residues, which will corrode the teeth over time and form interproximal caries. This type of caries is in the early stages, so it is recommended to treat it early. Waiting until it expands will cause more trouble.

2. Treatment of black teeth

Blackening of the gaps between teeth affects a person's image. This condition is not as easy to deal with as ordinary tooth decay and is relatively troublesome.

You need to grind off the black areas on both sides of the teeth first. If you use resin alone to fill it, the transparency of this type of filling is not ideal and it is impossible to achieve an invisible effect.

If you want to make it look good, I can only recommend dental veneers. All-ceramic veneers can simulate the color and transparent gradient effect of teeth very well. However, this method is expensive and requires grinding off a layer of the tooth surface. Friends who do not have special aesthetic needs only need resin fillings.

3. How to protect teeth

1. Brush your teeth in the morning and evening

To protect our teeth, first of all, we must keep our mouth and teeth clean. Then brushing your teeth in the morning and evening is a must. Pay special attention to brushing your teeth at night. If the food residues of the day are not cleaned well, our mouth will not move and saliva will basically not be secreted when we sleep at night. The mouth will not be well protected. The next day, you will find that your mouth will smell bad. This is because you don’t brush your teeth.

Secondly, when brushing your teeth, you should pay attention to the correct way, brush the inside and outside, and ensure that you brush your teeth for about 5 minutes to keep your mouth clean.

2. Drink plenty of water

Drinking more water, in addition to ensuring the body's normal water supply, can also clean the mouth and teeth.

Kill two birds with one stone. It is very necessary to keep your mouth and teeth clean, especially by drinking some water after meals. But be careful not to drink too much water after a meal, as drinking too much will dilute the digestive juices and cause indigestion, which is not good.

3. Eat less sweets

Obviously, eating less sweets can prevent tooth decay. Some people have been accustomed to eating candy and snacks since childhood, and they especially like sweets. Later, when they find their teeth hurt, they realize that they have cavities. But it’s too late to regret now that I’ve grown up.

If you also like to eat sweets, you must make sure not to finish eating. Try to brush your teeth to keep your teeth clean and reduce the residue of sweets.
