Sometimes parents may see black or brown plaque on their child's teeth and gums, mostly in the interdental spaces and natural cavities of the teeth. In many cases, the problem is not at all related to the fact that the child brushes his teeth poorly. The name for this manifestation is Priestley's rash, and today we will tell you how to react to its appearance. 
Priestley's plaque can mostly be seen on baby teeth, although it sometimes forms in adults as well, for example, when smoking or drinking drinks such as tea or coffee. Violations of the immune system or insufficient care of the oral cavity also contribute to its development. Plaque in itself does not threaten the body, but it is a risk factor for caries.
Nevertheless, we all know that any signals sent by our body should be treated responsibly. The guarantee of oral health is regular visits to preventive examinations. A children's dentist will perform professional oral hygiene and provide advice on further dental care, and a pediatrician will help to understand whether the gastrointestinal system needs special attention or whether Priestley's plaque is only a temporary phenomenon.
With Mamin Dim polyclinic, regular preventive examinations are quick and easy. In one place, we have gathered all the doctors necessary for the child, including dentists and many specialized specialists. We work every day at our locations in Kyiv and Kharkiv.
