baby first teeth looking yellow

[dex_millie]

Hi all,

I don't remember seeing yellow on my sons teeth when they were erupting but DD1 teeth are just erupting they are out the gums where you can feel them and look like they have yellow stains on them. She is breastfeed only...except for the stuff she might put in her mouth of course, she does licks and put everything in her mouth that she can find.

Has anybody experience this before?

I haven't had this problem but until the teeth are really through the gums I wouldn't be alarmed

My DD2's were like that and they started to erode soon after. She needed caps on the front four top teeth (the ones that came in yellow) and two of those needed a root canal. I honestly think they came in with bad enamel or something.
If I were you, I'd keep a close eye on them and get her to a good dentist before long to have them checked. Start looking now so you can find one who is supportive of breastfeeding and who is good with kids. It's amazing how hard it is to find one like that.

Just incase anyone was curious..

I took her to the dentist at it seem like it might be Dentinogenesis imperfecta it is a rare genetic defect. Her teeth that is comming up seems like it does not have the dentin in them so the teeth are not stained. We are seeing her nerves. It doesn't hurt. They are waiting to see if the next 2 will come out like that before they make a diagnosis. I really hope it is just those two teeths. She would require caps on her teeths if it is that defect.
