While my 3-year-old daughter was playing, she fell and injured her top front teeth. Not long after her fall, her two front teeth began to darken. Is there anything I can do to get her teeth to return to their normal color again. Should I change something in her diet?

Dear Vickie,
I’m sorry to hear about your daughter’s fall. There really isn’t much you can do to return your daughter’s baby teeth to their normal color. Although, in some cases this discoloration may fade somewhat. And unfortunately changing your daughter’s diet won’t resolve this issue. In about three to four years your daughter’s teeth will naturally fall out on their own, and her adult teeth will come in. So at this point, you should avoid doing anything to her teeth since you don’t want to risk loosening them.
