Yellow teeth - flurosis
My son is 2 yrs n 7 months old. Initially I used non fluoride toothpaste chikoo and then I found a white spot in his front tooth . so I started using Colgate kids toothpaste . he doesn't know to spit it out and mostly he will now . later the spot grew yellow in color thus ruptured his tooth. Now I could it spreading in other front teeth also. I suspect it to be flurosis . what I should to prevent it from spreading . is it reversible ? I don't want him to get humiliated at an early age . please share some advice.

Mam according to your description it appears to be early Carious lesion. That is cavity. It needs to be examined by a Pedodontist and treated also as soon as possible to prevent it from spreading.
