Does this look like tooth decay?

[RYJA248]

please see attached. A dentist and a hygienist have both had a very brief look at 3 year olds teeth and haven’t suggested any concerns but also haven’t explained why my 3yo teeth look like this. Any advice?

If the hygienist and dentist didn't say it was decay then it isn't. I'd hope! Maybe just make sure brushing is very thorough. Does your kid have an electric brush? You can get this stuff that turns some colour to show the bits of teeth you've missed. I remember having that as a kid and it was kind of fun.

No it looks like staining. Why was your 3yo at the hygienist?

Thanks. He does have an electric toothbrush and we’re always thorough when brushing his teeth and make sure to brush twice a day. He came with us to the hygienist as more exposure to a dental environment to get him used to the dentist. She just has a look and counts his teeth etc.
