DD's big teeth are off white with white spots??

[PinkChick]

last trip to dentist, he mentioned back ones and said to take extra care when brushing but her front ones have come through the same, her milk teeth are very white and these look dirty in comparison.

was going to make a trip to dentist again but wonderd if anyone has had same on here and what you did if anything?
TIA

I have a few teeth like that. As far as I know it's to do with calcium deposits and there is nothing wrong with the teeth, but there's nothing you can do about it.

I had white spots on my teeth as a child which disappeared as I grew older. Both dcs have yellowy rather than white teeth but they are healthy teeth. Two bits of random info I have been given over the years, which may be pants is, yellowy teeth are stronger than white teeth?? and (from my uncle) celtic people have yellowy teeth??? There now and waiting to be told there's no fool like an old fool or some such LOL.

dd has this- hyperplasia/hypermineralisation

we have to go to the dental hosp regularly as the enamel on her teeth hasn't formed properly making them much more prone to decay- specially the molars which have to be filled regularly- baby teeth and adult teeth

dentists say it either occurred during pregnancy or is the result of antibiotics/infections in very early childhood

either way- it's a pisser!

fluorosis? Try googling it- sounds like it could be but obviously it's easier for you to look at the pictures and compare! :)

OP it's likely to be hypomineralisation or fluorosis. There are a few other things but they are much rarer. Adult teeth are always darker than the milk teeth, it won't be obvious once the baby teeth are gone.
If it's hypomineralisation the teeth are potentially weaker so make sure DD has a good diet (ideally savoury snacks between meals,water only when she's thirsty) No treatment is needed but she will need regular check ups to monitor them to be sure she isn't getting decay and when she is older tooth whitening can sometimes help to even out the colour if she is concerned, or veneers.
