Discoloured teeth DC (3)

[BeFluentTraybake]

Ive noticed that DC (3) teeth look discoloured (ive enhanced the photo to show it clearly). Ive been big on oral hygiene since before baby teeth erupted, and we have brushed twice a day throughly since. Now has an electric toothbrush. We use a reputable fluoride free to as I was scared the whiter parts may be flouridosis (maybe around a year ago). DC has had several courses of antibiotics in their life.
We've always been fairly good with diet, ebf until 1, and now very little sugar only recently started having a drop of sugar free dilute as was frequently getting UTI from not drinking enough.
Has a dentist im going to get them in with but I want to go in informed
I feel ive done everything right 😫😫
Can anyone help me suss what this is 😅

Looks like mild hypoplasia to me, but I'm not a dentist. My dd9 has it, caused by antibiotics when she was a toddler and only impacted her adult teeth. Nothing to be done until the adult teeth are fully erupted when they'll be capped. You should be using fluoride toothpaste though, in my opinion, no evidence backed reason not to when they are old enough to spit it out.

My DDs baby teeth were discoloured, the dentist said it was normal. She's a teenager now with adult teeth and they're white.

mad not to use fluoride!

Hypoplasia can also be caused by fluoride so its a bit of a minefield. I dont use fluoride and have perfect teeth so I dont see the need.

Thank you for the information though x

I dont use it and have never had a filling 🤷🏼‍♀️ stopped as could see discoloured areas and knew fluoride could also cause that!

Thats reassuring thank you!

Theres a balance between lots of fluoride and no fluoride…….

Even sugar free diluting juice is acidic which won’t be doing enamel any good if that’s a sipping through the day type drink. If it’s a coloured one then could also be linked to the discolouration. Diluting juice is ok for a ‘sit down a drink with a meal’ or drink in one go drink. It’s not for sipping from all day for dental hygiene.

We have fluoride in our water so there is some anyway. The dilute is a past couple of months thing and a quarter a teaspoon a day so is not the cause.
