Stain in the teeth

2025-01-08 18:13:15
Hi docs, My son is now 16 Months old. He has around 10 teeth now and some black strain is visible in his teeth. We are brushing him using a silicon brush but not using any toothpaste. Is it fine or do we need to worry or need to start using pastes. Can someone recommend it. Also do i need to go to a ped or dentist for the black strain in his teeth.
