Question:
My son (age 4) injured front teeth and have become discolored….is there any way they will regain original color? Anything I can do to help…diet?
Teri in Pennsylvania
Dear Teri,
Your son’s baby teeth are so small, there really isn’t anything practical to get their color back. Diet won’t have any effect. And they are already starting to lose their roots, if they are the very front teeth, and doing too much will make them grow loose prematurely. I’d advise just waiting until they’re ready to fall out. It’s probably only another two or three years before they fall out.
