Hi, dd2 will be three in August. We have always brushed her teeth and for the last few months she's been very compliant with it, so we've let her get on with her toothbrush a bit too independently, maybe. But she has been brushing them morning and night, along with dd1, occasionally with our help.
I feel terrible about this now, as I noticed a few days ago that most of her teeth are stained yellow, especially near the gums! I am mortified that it has come to this without me noticing it, my personal dental hygiene is very good and dd1's teeth are also in really good condition!
About two weeks ago, dd2 finished a two-week course of antibiotics (Amoxicillin). Has anyone ever found that this stuff, taken over so many days, has stained their or their children's teeth?
I may be clutching at straws here, but it would explain the colour of her teeth despite them being brushed twice daily.
Btw, I have made an appointment with our dentist and also gone back to brushing her teeth myself.
