Dental help?!

[ByBlueMaker]

I am really concerned about my 3 year old son’s teeth. We brush twice a day really well but he has this on his teeth. I took him to the dentist where they said it’s just staining but it seems bad?

Trust the dentist. They know more about it than randoms on the Internet. If you are worried try to reduce foods that are likely to stain teeth. Not that they should be eating half of them anyway.

• Tea and Coffee: Black tea, green tea, and coffee are packed with tannins and chromogens that leave dark or yellowish deposits over time.
• Red and White Wine: Red wine contains a heavy mix of acid, chromogens, and tannins. White wine is acidic and can roughen enamel, making stains from other foods stick easier.
• Dark Berries: Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, and pomegranates have deep natural pigments that leave marks on porous enamel.
• Tomato-Based Sauces: Marinara, ketchup, and salsa combine bright red pigments with high acidity.
• Curry: Turmeric and other rich spices in curry have a deep yellow pigment that gradually discolours teeth.
• Dark Condiments: Soy sauce and balsamic vinegar are deeply concentrated and acidic.
• Beets: Beetroots and beet juice leave strong, vibrant red stains.
• Cola and Fizzy Drinks: Dark sodas combine artificial or caramel food dyes with phosphoric acid, which wears down enamel.
• Fruit Juices: Dark juices like grape, pomegranate, and cranberry juice stain teeth with natural sugars and intense colors.
