Hello
Basically these stains caused by iron supplements are harmless.
Only if you don't want the teeth look this way,you can visit a dentist and get her scaling done.
Iron supplements for her ferritin levels are important.
So you can only make sure that she has a great oral hygiene.
Next Steps
Brushing twice daily with fluoridated kids toothpaste is mandatory.
