Question
How should I handle black spots and a small hole on a 6-year-old child’s teeth?
Answer
At the age of six, the appearance of black spots and small holes on a child’s teeth is often due to dental caries, which may be related to excessive sugar intake and inadequate oral hygiene. Firstly, it’s important to develop good oral hygiene habits, brush teeth regularly, and keep the mouth clean; secondly, reduce the consumption of sugary foods. If there are no cavities on the tooth surface and no symptoms, you can temporarily not treat it; however, if there are holes on the tooth surface, repair is necessary. During the teething period, if oral hygiene is not maintained, new teeth will also deteriorate quickly. These are the suggestions for the question “black spots and small holes on a 6-year-old child’s teeth.” I hope this helps you, and wish you good health!
