neonatal oral white spot

The reason why white spots appear in the newborn mouth is a variety of reasons, such as horse teeth, thrush, mouth ulcers, etc., which need to be dealt with.

1. Horse teeth

are horny beads that appear on the gums and upper palate mucosa of newborns. This is a kind of keratin that remains during the development process. It is white or gray granular. The size of rice grains is several or dozens. Horse teeth are common in newborns and generally do not require special treatment.

2.

Thrush is a common oral disease caused by Candida albicans infection in infants. The oral mucosa of children will appear milky white and slightly protruding plaque, with no inflammatory reaction around it, and no pain. Thrush is good in cheeks, tongues, soft palate and lips. If parents do not pay attention to the hygiene of their babies in life, such as feeding tools such as bottles and nipples are not thoroughly disinfected, it may lead to baby infection with thrush. Oral

ulcers can occur in infants at all stages, the cause is not clear, may be related to genetic, dietary, immune and other factors. Neonates and children may be caused by partial eclipse or anorexia caused by vitamin deficiency, poor oral hygiene and other factors. For oral ulcers, attention should be paid to eliminating pathogenic factors, such as maintaining oral hygiene, balanced diet, etc.
