Tetracycline: Can cause banding (staining) of teeth. Though not prescribed to children nowadays, many adults have this condition. Cosmetic enhancement like long term bleaching, mi paste usage have shown significant improvement in a minimally invasive treatment modality. Veneering and full coverage crowns are also an option and should be discussed with your dentist.

Try in-office bleach: Depending on the severity, I have had reasonable success with a combination whitening treatment which typically includes 2 in-office sessions and daily use of home whitening trays. This treatment is not a cheap bleaching procedure but is less costly than 2 laminate veneers. If it is not fully successful, at least the teeth are lighter allowing for thinner veneers to block out the color.
