He's 13m, he's got 6 teeth, and the two bottom ones have suddenly gone brown - what causes this???

antibiotics.(or he's been on the red wine!)

PhDlifeNeedsaNewLife · 13/05/2008 09:48

he was prescribed AB's last week, but we gave up on the antibiotics after 2 days, because we just couldn't get them into him.

surely that isn't it? what's the link, anyway? will they recover?

It's a common side efefct of ABs (not reversible!) but I can't believe it could turn them brown after just 2 days. must be worth a quick call to the dentists.

Could he have bumped them? My ds1 bumped his when he was about 2 - they turned grey/brown almost immediately.

oh, for sure TK, he's taken a lot of spills I haven't seen in past couple of days.

oh dear, what a shame. i'd be really upset about that, i think. thank god it is the bottom ones.

PhDlifeNeedsaNewLife · 13/05/2008 10:37

I am upset, specially cos he's so little. And has SUCH a charming grin!

(note your name-change Aitch, are you going somewhere?)
