Proper dental care: Prevention of tooth discoloration in toddlers is no different from prevention in adults: attention to proper diet, oral hygiene, and regular professional care. Children should have their first trip to the dentist by age 1. Until a child is capable of doing it himself, daily brushing by the parent is mandatory. Some nutritional supplements, notably those with iron, can cause discoloration.
