Hi
With you query, is it 19 months or 19 years? if it is 19 months nothing to worry about still so long to go either to decide or think about the jagged teeth.if he is 19 years discoloration happens mainly due to 2 reasons

1. During pregnancy or while breast feeding if you are on tetracycline drugs for any reason it may result in discoloration of teeth ,coz these drugs interefere with calcium absorption.

2.Drinking water what you consume if their flouride
content is less then also you see discoloration or technically called enamel hypoplasia.

I would rather suggest you to visit your pedodontist for both the opinins regarding teeth jagges and discoloration

hope this helps you
