Yellow baby teeth?

    One of my dd's top front baby tooth is coming in yellow. All of her other teeth look white. I did a quick search and read that it might be caused by jaundice or from meds that might have been given when she was born a preemie. I noticed it as soon as it broke through so I really don't think it's plaque. Anyone have any experience with this?

    One of my girls has a yellow tooth. When we took her to the dentist he said something about it having to do with the calcium in the tooth. I don't remember exactly what he said, but he told me it was nothing to worry about; especially since it is a baby tooth.

    Annika has one. We just did a big dentist appointment with xrays this year. The tooth isn't causing her any problems so it isn't a big deal on it's own. But, the adult tooth under it, looks like it may be same. Her tooth actually has a ripple in it. It almost looks like someone scratched the enamel off in a streak but that's not actually the case, it's just discolored.

    I've heard that babies who get antibiotics at birth can sometimes have yellow tinged baby teeth. I don't think it's anything to worry about- I'm pretty sure the adult tooth that follows will be fine..

    Both of my twins have the same thing. DS seems to be fading very slowely but DD remains the same color. The only thing I can think is that it is due to any treatments they had in NICU.
