Brown stains on infant teeth Posted: 10-28-06 07:39am
My 22-month old has large brown stains on
his four front upper teeth, and it looks
like some of the teeth have been eaten
away. Plus he has cavities in some of his
other teeth. The dentist said this is due
to giving him the bottle at night. I am
now giving him only water during the night
and have started brushing his teeth 3-4
times a day.
Because my baby has to be sedated for the
dental work, the earliest the dentist can
schedule the work is next spring.
Is there anything that I can do in the
meantime to remove the brown stains.
Thanks for your help.
