Dd is 6 and adult front teeth half through on has an orange stain dentist said this is due to an accident she had as a toddler banging her mouth. He said we wouldn’t be able to seek cosmetic treatments until she’s at least 10 and wasn’t reassuring. Has anyone had experience of this please I feel so upset for dd :(

Does it actually bother her?

TheStoreRoom · 27/09/2019 19:59

She’s asked about it but so far no. But I know how cruel kids can be about appearances so am concerned

Well dd had a gap and had veneers aged 9. I paid. She also had two molars (first) removed becausd they grew without enamel because I had to have iv anti-biotics at 20 weeks pg. NHS in hospital under ga.

Can you get another dentist?

I am tempted to get a second opinion as he was so vague about treatment just that she was too young for anything now and absolutely nothing could be done

My dd (8) has this on her 2 front teeth. We have an appointment at dental hospital next week to see if there is anything that can be done but dentist have said same, won't do anything until she's much older. It has faded and the more her teeth grow the better it looks but some days it's very noticeable. Sorry can't help anymore just now

My DS has enamel hypoplasia and had some bad patching of white opaque and brown marks on his front teeth.

He recently had the Icon resin infiltration treatment, which has worked beautifully. It might be worth a look for you.

How old is your ds science?

I could have written your post!

My dd had an accident when she was a toddler, fell & banged her mouth at the park.

The enamel was damaged on one of her front, bottom teeth. The dentist put some white filling stuff on it but warned it could come off - it did a few days later & they're not keen to do it again. This was a few years ago.

She's nearly 11 & it bothers her a bit & I must admit I hate it (I've never told her that). At first glance you'd think she hadn't cleaned her teeth which she does twice a day every day so it's really frustrating. Kids have commented at school.

She's got a check up next month so I will ask again as they've told her she will need braces so hopefully they'll be something they can do to help.

I'd love to get it sorted before she starts secondary school next year but I'm not convinced it will be Sad

He’s 10. Honestly, I was so impressed. They are completely white and even now.

You don’t need any anaesthetic with it, as long as they are reasonably compliant! He’s had two molars out with sedation because of it already, so he’s pretty used to dentists sadly.
