Came through looking perfect. Just noticed today it looking orange. Extra brush from me at bedtime - still similar-ish and feels rough. I am so gutted. Could she have enamel problems? Or could it be plaque?? She did have a nasty fall on her face late last year when the tooth would have been gearing up to make an entrance - could it have been damaged?
We've always had great teeth in our family. What happens if they all come through like that??
Her second baby tooth has just come out too, next to this first. Will it be similar??
Will try dentist tomorrow, but we might not be seen for a while. Any input?

They come in quite soft to begin with, the enamel hardens up over the years. Ds1 top front teeth ALWAYS seemed yellow and gungy!! Also felt rough. When I brushed them they didn't change. He's now 19 and has fantastic white hard teeth. I'm not sure at what point the change happened Blush
Ds2 (child 4) fell with a nasty bump to the mouth. His baby tooth filled with blood and became his 'pirate tooth' much to my disgust for a few years. It was grey/black and I was very worried as the dentist said his adult tooth could come in also filled with blood. He's now aged 7 and has the most beautiful straight white healthy hard teeth!

Try not to worry, I'm sure it will be fine Smile
