Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / January 20055 Year Old - Permanent Teeth
My 5 year old lost her first tooth and the adult tooth has been coming in for the last 3 weeks or so. What I've noticed is the tooth is not pure white, but off in color, almost grey or slightly darker. Is this normal or is this something I have to be concerned about. She has not had any facial injuries that would have hurt her teeth. Thank you. Sarah > My 5 year old lost her first tooth and the adult tooth has been coming in > for the last 3 weeks or so.

Watch the amount of fluoride she gets (for the other developing teeth) by brushing twice a day with fluoride-containing tooth paste (morn and b/4 bed). You can get non-fluoride toothpaste for the other brushings. Use olny a pea sized amount, and push it INTO the brush, so it will last, and tell your little girl not to swallow it. Don't worry too much about the color at this point. If they are really grey, you can get a bleaching done later. hope this helps SP  SignatureNot a real Addy, yet >>My 5 year old lost her first tooth and the adult tooth has been coming in >>for the last 3 weeks or so.

FWIW, mine are yellow, and they will STAY that way. When I take a photo of my anteriors to show the relation of the lowers with the NTI, it may be evident. .... I know y'all just can't wait....
