because of an antibiotic they had to take as a child to help them survive and live because they were a sick child? It was called tetracycline, some people get all the breaks and can sue over stuff like this some people don’t know how, don’t find out in time, or are not wealthy enough to be able to do anything about a lot of things. If a person has permanently yellow teeth and can’t do anything about that, should they be made fun of for it? Just asking.
Well, anyone who actually knows anything about teeth would know better than to think the teeth were yellow from lack of hygiene.
Tetracycline causes what is called an intrinsic stain on your teeth. It can’t be removed, and you’re right… it’s unfortunate for the people that it’s happened to.
A tetracycline stain on the teeth looks COMPLETELY different than a yellow stain from biofilm (plaque) that happens when you just don’t take care of your teeth. Point that out the next time someone makes fum of you…. your teeth are probably cleaner than theirs! lol…
As a child I had braces for 6 yrs and my teeth are stained. No matter what I try it doesnt work to whiten them. I even paid to have the special bleaching trays made up at the dentist and it didnt work
my brother’s like that.
it sucks = (
No. My step-mother had that, and has yellow teeth now.
I never made fun of her even when I didn’t know. In my mind, if someone very hygenic has yellow teeth then it has to be something else rather than lack of brushing.
Anyone who makes fun of anyone for anything is an idiot, anyway.
