My 3-year-old son's front two teeth are yellow in color. What could it be?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please be calm.

See, it can be dentinogenesis imperfecta or Turner's hypoplasia.

It may require crowns or prosthesis.

I suggest you, please share the picture of the involved child so that I can confirm my diagnosis.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Please be calm.

See though they are defects, they seem to be rampant caries (attachments removed to protect the patient's identity) that are progressing.

I suggest you, whenever you feel free, get an X-ray of the teeth to see if there is any internal damage or not.

The first tooth has caries on the margin only, while the other involves almost 50 percent of the tooth.

The treatment involves restorations (glass ionomer restoration) and crowns (stainless steel) if the lesion is deep (after X-ray only).

Also, reduce the sticky sugar diet and rest up to 50 percent to prevent further progression.
