Stain in the teeth
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.
