Bright smiles....

Everyone loves a bright white smiles..however this is not possible for some persons as they may have yellowish teeth. I myself also have yellowish teeth because of antibiotic comsumption when i was a toodler.FYI, tetracycline a type of antibiotic that used to be prescribe to young patient mostly to treat ear infection by medical practioner.However,its proven that this antibiotic if given to children below 12 years old, they will have defect in their permanent dentition later.This can range from yellowish to brownish discoloration to the child permanent teeth.The picture above is one of the example of tetracycline induced staining.So..remembers parent, if your child have ear infection, remember that they are not given tetracycline.
Even this staining does causes unaesthetic teeth.There are some treatment option for this type of discoloration.Here are the treatment option
1.Tooth whitening/Bleaching.This only applicable in mild cases
2.Veneer
3.Crown.This is for a moderate to severe cases
Tooth whitening does really works for me.I recommend people to try it.Ok..i will discuss about other causes of tooth discoloration i.e coffee stain etc tomorrow.Feel free to post a comment.Meanwhile that..have a good day.
