In fact, the caries in babies<\/strong> They progress quite quickly, so it is important to have them checked as often as indicated. These cavities usually first manifest themselves by the appearance of white spots, which leave a dull, chalky appearance on the most visible part of the tooth. These occur due to the demineralisation of enamel<\/strong> in the areas where it remains porous and can change to yellow, brown or brownish colours as they perforate the enamel (the hardest layer of the tooth, which protects it) and leave the tooth with a marked relief and some sensitivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
