Taking toddler to dentist + yellow teeth??

[LMonkey]

DS is 2yrs + 3mths and has his first dentist appt on Thursday. He is an absolute nightmare just to take shopping so I am not looking forward to this. Any tips on making the experience any easier, so that a) he's not scared and b) behaves himself?

Also, his teeth have very suddenly gone very yellow. Its literally happened in the space of about a week. I am pretty obsessive about cleaning his teeth (always very difficult no matter how 'fun' I try and make it, and I usually just end up having to pin him down while he screams, but at least they're being cleaned). First of all I was really worried that we had been too relaxed about what he has to eat and drink, he has raisins quite often, 1 or 2 cups of watered down juice a day, the odd sweet treat like cake, however never sweets and rarely chocolate. However he has been on antibiotics for a viral infection so I'm really wondering if it could be to do with that (its only happened since he's been on them). Anyone have any experience of this? If its staining on the teeth then that's one thing, but I'm actually really worried that its stripped the enamel off his teeth or something. God knows what the dentist will think as it looks like his teeth have been really poorly cared for but I have always been so careful about cleaning them.

Any knowledge or advice much appreciated, thanks.

My daughter had some yellow staining at the bottom, she bears her teeth now so I can really get them scrubbed. She doesn't have it now

OP google enamel hypoplasia in children, my ds1 has this. I notices it at 2, by the time we saw the dentist, saw the community dentist, was referred was over a year. By then he had problems and subsequently had 4 teeth removed. Had I known what it was at the start I may have been able to prevent damage to his teeth.

He was a very reluctant patient. We played dentists a lot!

My son has special needs so I have great difficulty brushing his teeth they do a special needs tooth brush with three heads which might help I,m sure they also work with reluctant children can't remember name but Google them you can get them off Amazon.
