tetracycline and gray teeth

[Guest guest]

Has anyone experienced gray teeth with tetracycline or any other antibiotic?

Do the new whitening techniques help this problem?-Anne

Yes, this drug does affect the developing teeth in children. My husband is

a retired dentist and our own daughter was on a lot of either this or

declomyacine (spelling yuk) and she has very gray teeth. She had in those days

(38yrs ago) a lot of colds etc and the md's were using a lot of this.

She has her teeth bonded now but even that has to be eventually replaced.

Bleaching will not help this to my knowledge. She would have tried this

before bonding.

I was on Doxy for 5yrs for chronic lyme, it never changed/grayed my teeth. I

have always had nice/white teeth and they are the same today.
