Hi
DD7 has several new teeth- 2 at the top & 4 down the bottom. The bottom ones are really cramped & overlapping. Her baby teeth were lovely & straight & white but her new teeth are yellow & look like they're never brushed. I don't understand why they're like this. She doesn't eat a lot of junk food, she only drinks water & she brushes every night (not every morning I must admit). I almost always brush them for her after she's had a go. She's had check ups & cleans every 6 months at the dentist since she was 5. The last time she went they told my DH to lay off giving her juice. She doesn't drink juice! Any suggestions or remedies or does anyone else's child have this problem? It's embarrassing cause it looks like I neglect her teeth. Thanks |

Does she eat a lot of acidic fruit?
Did she have any heavy duty antibiotics as a baby? My eldest child's teeth are a bit yellow-ish and they have some staining. The yellow-ish look is from being tested with gentamicin as a baby. The staining is from eating too many blueberries. |

Adult teeth always look 'yellower' than baby teeth - it's why baby teeth are called 'milk teeth'. I asked the dentist only last week as I had concerns about my DS (8) teeth. When there is a combo of baby teeth and adult teeth the adult teeth will always look yellow. Once there are all adult teeth they will look white again!

Thanks for the replies. Yes, she eats a lot of strawberries & apples & as a baby had reflux medication every day for a year, so I guess that might have something to do with it.

She reassured DD that she was doing a good job at cleaning her teeth and that we weren't to nag her about it LOL. This post has been edited by *CalamityJane*: 07/12/2012, 01:04 AM |

Yip adult teeth are yellower so against white baby teeth they look even worse.

I had the same problem when my DD's adult teeth came through and I was really concerned until the dentist explained to me about how adult teeth can look like that. I then felt bad for making her brush her teeth again and again because I wasn't convinced she was doing it properly.
