I have had a brown mark/stain on three of
my teeth since I was a small child. I
have been told that it is caused by some
pills taken by my mum when she was
pregnant. She took the pills to cure a
cold. What are these marks and can I get
rid of them? Gabriela, bucharest,
romania.

I have the opposite problem - I have
bright white spots on my teeth, whiter
than the rest of my teeth and they are
only on my two front teeth. I always
refer to them as calcium deposits but
thats not what they are. My mom says
they are either from medication she took
while she was pregnant or from me having
pneumonia as an infant and running a very
high fever. I've had them ever since I
got my adult teeth so while I noticed
them, they never bothered me since that is
all i've ever known. Last time I went
to the dentist he gave me some
professional strength crest white strips
to try to use to bleach the rest of my
teeth and try to get them the same color
as the white spots. They whitened my
teeth nicely but not enough to match the
white spots. You on the other hand,
being that your stains are darker than the
rest of your teeth might actually benefit
from some form of bleaching. You should
talk with your dentist and see what he or
she recommends.

Try crest night effects. I too had 3
teeth stained bad and the dentist wanted
1200 dollars to get rid of it, crowns and
all that. Im not sure if it will help
you but the price difference to try it and
maybe win is enormous. Here they only
cost 14 dollars for a 14 day supply. Its
a whitener you put on your teeth before
you sleep, go to bed wake up brush your
teeth thats it. It removed all mine in
just 5 days.

Hi gabriela!
I had a similar problem on my front teeth.
I've been brushing with a mix of baking
soda and peroxide for about a month now,
and the stain is almost gone.
Good luck!
Daniel

The combination of cigarettes and too much
espresso doesn't seem to help. ... Daniel

Be careful with that combination, my uncle
stripped the enamel off of his teeth by
using that and now his teeth are terrible.

There is an antibiotic called
tetracyceling. It will cause your teeth
to be dark yellow or you will have small
dark spots if your mom took it while she
was pregnant with you. Do not use the
baking soda combination. It causes your
teeth to become soft and eats away at
them. The white spots on adult teeth are
called flourosis. It is when you are
giving too much floride when you are a
child and causes white spots on the
developing adult teeth. Or it you swollow
too much tooth paste when your adult teeth
where developing. With the dark spots you
can call your local dentist and have
fillings placed, try bleaching or just
live with them.
