Child - Teeth Stained
My 7 year old son's new teeth have been coming out with a yellowish stain on them. I was told that this is the result of too many antibiotics (which, unfortunately, he did have when he was younger and before I was wiser). Has anyone heard of this condition and knows how it could be treated, if at all? Your help will be greatly appreciated. -I. Smith

This is so correct! Tetracycline is the culprit from what I understand, from experience. I am not sure what can be done either. I also, thought it was due to the mother taking tetracycline while pregnant, but could also be expected if the infant also took large amounts, I guess. Not sure! -Dee |
