Question
My child is 2 years and 3 months old, and there are yellow spots between the two front teeth. There are no similar situations with other teeth. How should I handle this? Do I need to see a doctor immediately?
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the child is 2 years and 3 months old, and the milk teeth are not yet fully grown. The small yellow spots on the front teeth may be due to poor oral hygiene. It is recommended that parents start developing good oral hygiene habits now, including brushing or rinsing before bedtime, and avoiding snacks before bed to slow down the process of tooth decay. In addition, it is suggested to bring the child to a local hospital’s dental department for professional advice to address the issue promptly.
