Investigating the cause of all types of white spots (Fluorescence) On children's teeth
Dental fluorosis is a type of permanent stain on the teeth that is caused by increased systemic exposure to fluoride during the formation of the child's tooth enamel.. Ingesting a large amount of fluoride disrupts the normal process of tooth mineral formation. The result of this disorder is an increase in cavities on the teeth and a decrease in the mineral content of the teeth. In the continuation of this article, Dr. Hossein Borjian's website The best cosmetic dentist in Isfahan The reason for all kinds of white spots (Fluorescence) روی دندان کودکان را مورد بررسی قرار می دهیم.
Appearance of fluorescein
Normal tooth enamel is like semi-transparent and semi-opaque glass; However, suffering from fluorosis causes symptoms such as clouding and discoloration of tooth enamel. Both effects originate from changes in the composition of tooth enamel, which include the reduction of minerals, the increase in tooth porosity, and the increase in fluoride levels.. The appearance of white spots, brown spots, and in severe cases wear and cavities in the teeth are other symptoms of fluorosis..
Causes of white spots on teeth
Minors, especially children below 6 year, they cannot spit out the toothpaste while brushing their teeth. In this way, the child swallows a large amount of toothpaste on the toothbrush. Now if the toothpaste contains Fluoride Therefore, a large amount of fluoride gradually enters the child's body and white spots appear on the teeth.
Children from one to three years old 80 % They get the amount of fluoride absorbed daily from toothpaste. It is estimated that children 2 until the 3 About a year old 48 % , children 4 Year 42 %، 5 Year 34 % And 6 Year 25 % They swallow the toothpaste on the toothbrush. This amount is for children 8 until the 12 year to 10 % reduces and in adults as well 10 % or less.
Mild and very mild cases
Most of the cases of white spot on the teeth are classified as very mild to mild. In this case, chalky white lines or cloudy white spots or spots are formed on separate areas of the tooth enamel.. There is a possibility of the formation of these lines and stains in any part of the tooth. If the stain is on the chewing edge of the tooth, the condition is called "tooth with snow coating"..
It is common for the pattern of white spots on the teeth to be at least partially bilaterally symmetrical, meaning that two equivalent teeth on the left and right sides of the mouth are affected..

Moderate to severe cases
If the systemic proximity to fluoride is greater, the white spot on the tooth will be more intense. Many of these cause the teeth to turn yellow or brown, and cavities may also form on the surface of the tooth.. It is possible that fluoresce first appears as whitish areas and then turns brown due to low mineral content and tooth porosity.. Depletion of tooth enamel minerals in severe cases leads to brittleness of tooth enamel, and in this way, the enamel is easily damaged by chewing or activities that cause wear and tear on the tooth..
A white spot on a child's tooth only appears if the child has a large amount of fluoride at the time of formation Enamel swallow. With this description, the probability of having fluorosis from birth to approx 6 Or 7 The age is more. Of course, this damage will not be known for some time.
Because the white spots on the tooth are formed during the formation of the tooth and when the tooth is still in the jawbone and has not come out of the gum, the damage to the tooth until they appear, that is, until the child reaches adulthood. 6 until the 12 The age is not specified.
