The stains are mostly due to the iron drops that you have given. It should go away within a couple of months. Continue with the cleaning of his teeth by using your finger brush and make sure you do not forget to do it before he is sleeping. Just keep a watch, if you feel that even after 3 months the stains have not gone away you can just visit your nearby dentist and get a checkup done. Nothing to worry about

Hi iron drops usually leave black stains on teeth . It will go away by itself in a couple of months time . If it’s mandatory to take iron drops make sure they don’t touch the teeth as u give it to your child .

Black stains are due to iron drops. After given iron drops, clean the baby teeth with wet cloths. Don't worry
