Amoxicillin and stained teeth


Ole

Recommended Posts

My 4 year old is at the end of week 1 of a 2-week course of amoxicillin and his teeth are becoming stained brown. Does anybody know if this is reversible once he finishes treatment? I am taking him to dentist next week anyway for a check, but I was wondering if there is anything I can do in the meantime or if anybody can tell me once he stops taking the antibiotic his teeth will return to normal? He has very good oral hygiene generally so it must be the antibiotic causing the stains.

I think this is superficial discolouration and will reverse with time, or can be treated with dental solutions to remove discolouration. Check with a registered Pharmacist who should be able to give you more specific info while you're waiting for the dental appointment.

    • That is clearly not true. I see car drivers breaking the law on an hourly basis - jumping red lights, speeding, not obeying the general rules. Plus they are operating considerably more dangerous machinery and should have a greater responsibility of care to other road uses. You can see who causes the most harm by the stats. 
    • Looking for a suit for an 11 year old. Quite specific, white with black thin stripes.  Trying to replicate Michael Jacksons smooth criminal costume.  A blue linen shirt and white tie.    Thank you !!!!!!!
    • A quick Google found this, amongst other things: "Social impact models are frameworks or approaches that guide how organizations or initiatives address social or environmental problems."
    • "If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck then it must be a duck" comes to mind Unfortunately, a large number of cyclists do exhibit selfish amd anti social behaviour which, regardless of how many good cyclists there are, is seen as the norm.  It's a bit like one car driver jumping a red light and all car drivers getting tarred by the same brush. Perception is the issue and if cyclists all obeyed the rules, everyone would be less anti them but unfortunately that isn't the case 🤔
