Question
My child has her two front adult teeth now she is five but i noticed yellow marks on them just starting as if there going bad please help.
Answer
The tooth discoloration can either be on the tooth surface (extrinsic) or be present within the substance of the tooth (intrinsic). 1. Intrinsic causes: Hereditary disorders. Tetracycline medication. Excessive fluoride intake in drinking water. High fevers associated with early childhood disease. 2. Extrinsic causes: Stains from tobacco smoking. Bacteria producing colored pigments. A salivary protein layer covering the tooth surface. The tinted remnants of a certain membrane seen on the teeth surface as the teeth, initially erupt out into the mouth. Tooth decay or a broken down filling. Most external stains can be removed by thorough cleaning of teeth. Discoloration resistant to cleaning can be corrected or greatly improved through conservative procedures such as Bleaching, Micro abrasion or Veneering.
