No: It should not be a problem for you as long as you perform good basic mouth hygiene.

Dental X-ray : I recommend a visit to your dentist for an x-ray and an evaluation. Your teeth may have become devital or dead, which could result in discoloration or brittleness.

Broken tooth: How badly broken were they? Did they require root canals or caps at that time? Are they bothering you now? Are they discolored or have they turned greyer. You need to see a dentist regularly and have them x-rayed to be really sure.

Childhood accident: A clinical exam, x-rays and pulp testing can easily determine the extent of any previous or present injury to the teeth and supporting tissues. At that time, your dentist can discuss any necessary treatment, precautions and the possible restorative improvements.
