What should I do if my teeth become calcified and white?

Generally speaking, white teeth are not calcification, but a sign of calcium deficiency. Whitening of teeth due to calcium deficiency is most common in children. If calcium is not supplemented for a long time, it will not only affect the beauty of the teeth, but also have a certain impact on other parts of the body. So, what should we do if our teeth become white? Symptoms can be alleviated through a combination of dietary and medicinal supplements, choosing appropriate calcium supplements, exercise, and protecting teeth!

1. Combination of dietary and medicinal supplements

Children can absorb calcium by drinking milk, eating soy products, etc. During the growth period of children, they tend to grow and develop very quickly. It is recommended to choose a calcium supplement rich in vitamin D to help supplement. On the one hand, it can supplement calcium, and on the other hand, it can supplement vitamin D and promote calcium absorption, effectively combining "dietary supplements" and "drug supplements". Not only should we pay attention to dietary conditioning, but we should also purchase appropriate calcium supplements and supplement them reasonably according to the doctor's advice.

2. Be careful when choosing calcium supplements

Nowadays, there are a lot of mixed calcium supplements for children on the market, so parents must be more careful when choosing. There are several main things to note: purchase through standardized channels; choose big brands; pay attention to the source of calcium; supplement other nutrients; and pay attention to taste.

3. Children's sports assistance

In daily life, children's diet should be nutritionally balanced, and they can be provided with eggs, meat, grains, milk, vegetables, fruits and other foods. In addition, don't forget to take your children to participate in outdoor sports regularly, breathe fresh air, get more sun exposure, and strengthen their bodies, which can also promote the formation of VD.

4. Teeth protection measures

1. Stay away from sweets. Although almost every child likes to eat desserts, parents must play the role of guardian and not allow their children to eat too much sweets, otherwise it will damage their teeth.

2. Clean your teeth every day. Develop good oral hygiene habits, rinse your mouth after meals, and brush your teeth in the morning and evening, each time for 3 minutes. To master the correct method of brushing your teeth, you should use the vertical brushing method, that is, brush the upper teeth from top to bottom, and brush the lower teeth from bottom to top, brushing every surface.

3. Choose the right toothbrush and toothpaste. Use a children's toothbrush to brush your teeth and choose a suitable toothpaste according to the actual conditions of your oral cavity. Fluoride toothpaste can reduce the incidence of tooth decay by 40%, but it is not suitable for children under 3-4 years old and people living in high-fluoride areas. It is not advisable to use a certain medicated toothpaste for a long time.

4. See a dentist promptly. If tooth decay occurs or the child feels pain, parents should take the child to the hospital to see a dentist in time. Never think that toothache is not a disease and don’t make a fuss about it. This is a very serious mistake.
