Milk teeth discoloration
My Daughter who is 4yrs old slipped on floor due to which one of her front teeth got little cracked. its being a month now and I see her teeth getting brownish red. I don't have any complaints from my daughter and as it's milk teeth I am ignoring it. Got an x ray done however. Would be Happy if someone can suggest on it. I don't want to undergo any treatments for it as it is milk teeth and however new ones would come.

HI..
Don't ignore the discolouration weather it is primary teeth or permanent, it may be sign of non vitality, it may cause infection later on, your daughter still have time to erupt her permanent incisor.

Hi
As per x ray it seems there is no abnormality as you see colour change only clinically...
Don't ignore it as milk teeth ...if there is infection in milk teeth it also spreads apically and cause infection in permanent tooth bud and risks it's eruption.....so don't think like this.....
Radiological investigation should be fine periodically every 6 months..
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for further clinical examination and management
Health Tips
however clinical examination should be made by dentists

Hi mam, as of now no issues if there is only color change. Post 6 months have a dental check up. Lift her upper lip and check for any boils or if she is having pain again its time for her dental visit.
