Question
How should one treat a light yellow decayed groove on a young child’s front teeth?
Answer
A light yellow decayed groove on a young child’s front teeth may be caused by dental plaque or fluorosis. It is recommended to visit a hospital for a professional examination to confirm the diagnosis. If diagnosed as dental plaque, teeth cleaning can restore the original appearance of the teeth, and for severe cases, tooth whitening may be considered. If it is fluorosis, repairs can be made using porcelain fused to metal or porcelain veneers. If there are no cavity issues, attention should be paid to oral hygiene and regular check-ups. It is suggested to go to a local dental department for detailed examination and treatment.
