Get it checked: Any form of "bottle decay" usually forms on the tongue side of the upper front teeth. What color is the stain? If it is dark and linear some infants get stain from taking iron supplements. If it is dark yellow, rarely and only rarely, infants get calculus (tartar) on there teeth and if they do, it is usually on the lower front teeth. Take your child to a pediatric dentist to get this evaluated.

Stain: Discoloration of a portion of a baby tooth may be due to food, failure to properly clean the teeth, intrinsic tooth changes causing light to refract differently, or cavities. As baby teeth have started erupting your child is now overdue for his first dental examination. Please see a Pediatric Dental Specialist (Pedodontist) now. You'll be glad you did.
