2.5 year old with faint discoloration (Max. Ant.) DILLIGAS 03/14/04
    My son, who just turned 2 ½ years old today; has discoloration (Very faint, somewhat like demineralization), in his maxillary incisors, that is causing me some concern.

    He has not taken, nor did my wife during pregnancy or breast feeding, tetracycline. He did have a round of amoxicillin; 5/ml in suspension for earaches when he was 8 months old.

    Can these discolorations be caused by the antibiotic? If so, what are the possible damages that we should now be on the look out for with his permanent dentition, when it erupts?

    Thanks,

    DILLIGAS
