Why is there black stuff between teeth?

Which one is more likely to win the favor of others, a set of white and neat teeth or a set of black, yellow, or broken teeth? The answer is obvious.

If there are some black things like "black spots" between our teeth that cannot be brushed off by normal brushing, we need to pay attention to it.

Why do black things grow between teeth?

Reason 1: Pigmentation

If you are a person who likes to drink coffee, tea, and smoke, then the black stuff in your teeth may be caused by pigmentation (even if you don’t smoke, drink, or eat sugar, there will still be pigmentation). For the black spots between teeth caused by this situation, you just need to go to the dental hospital for regular teeth cleaning.

Reason 2: Tooth decay (cavities)

Another possibility is tooth decay, which can also turn black. In this case, you can usually just go for a filling. Before filling, you will clean the decayed area and then do the filling. Early-stage tooth decay only requires a filling, while mid- to late-stage tooth decay requires root canal treatment or extraction.

If there is black stuff between your teeth, it is related to tartar and plaque, and it will be a little troublesome to treat. First, we need to remove the tartar and plaque accumulated on the teeth, and secondly, we need to combine it with medication for treatment.

【Prepare for a rainy day】

Even if there is no black stuff between your teeth, you can't relax your vigilance. You must take proactive measures to prevent it. Don't wait until you have a toothache or a tooth falls out before you think of going to the dentist. At that time, you not only spend time and energy, but also money. Just like the roof, it is easy to replace a tile when it is just broken, but don't wait until it leaks.

1. Maintain good oral hygiene: brush your teeth for 3 minutes every morning and evening, rinse your mouth after meals, and use dental floss. Try not to eat too much high-sugar food before going to bed at night, and remember to wash your mouth after eating!

2. Drink less carbonated drinks: Try to drink less. After drinking, you can rinse your mouth with water or drink milk to dilute it. For children who love smoking, for the sake of their teeth, start from today, try to smoke less or quit smoking.

3. Regular teeth cleaning: This is the most effective way to remove tooth residue, tartar and plaque.

4. Tooth filling and repair: If you have tooth decay, you need to go to a regular hospital for a comprehensive examination and tooth filling and repair. Try not to chew food with the newly filled teeth to avoid damage or loss.

If you don’t spend time brushing your teeth, you’ll have to spend time cleaning your teeth. If you don’t spend time cleaning your teeth, you’ll have to spend time filling your teeth. If you don’t spend time filling your teeth, you’ll have to spend time extracting your teeth. To care about your oral health, please focus on prevention!
