Question
My child’s teeth have turned yellow, with uneven surfaces and pieces have already fallen off from one tooth. Recently, I’ve noticed similar situations with other teeth but they haven’t fallen out yet. I have tried supplementing calcium for my child. Can you tell me what the cause might be, and how should I handle it?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s yellow teeth may be related to calcium deficiency, or possibly due to medication or issues with the local water supply. Calcium is beneficial for the growth and development of teeth, but whether it is the exact cause of tooth discoloration needs further examination to confirm. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a check-up so that the doctor can treat the root cause. Wishing your child a speedy recovery!
