Chromogenic Stains Children’s Teeth

Chromogenic Stains On Children’s Teeth

Dark stains on children’s teeth often can be confused with cavities but fortunately, other than colour they are harmless.

These stains called chromogenic stains are seen more often in young children.
They are external stains caused by stain producing bacteria called chromogenic bacteria.
Both bacteria & stains are harmless except for the colour.
These stains appear more on lower teeth than upper teeth but some staining will be present in all teeth.
They are seen along the gum lines of teeth (both inside and outside), but the gums are usually healthy.
These stains are hard to remove and can be quiet resistant to regular brushing and homecare.
They disappear just as suddenly as they appear because microflora in mouth changes as your child grows.

How they can be treated??

Professional cleaning can remove stains.
In very little children, where esthetics is not a concern, we can wait for the cleaning till the child gets bit older.
Good brushing can decrease the intensity of staining.
