Any Suggestion For Breath Smelling Strong When Using Fer-in-sol For Discolored Teeth?
my 5 year old daughter's front teeth are discoloured, they seem to be going black. She brushes twice a day and uses mouth wash also. She is currently on fer-in-sol, (iron .3ml) per day and my gp says that the dose is so low it wouldn't affect her teeth. Also her breath is quite strong smelling, could they be connected?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as your child have discoloration of upper front tooth dont worry discoloration is not related to iron supplement you are giving .
This discoloration can be due to caries or due to History of injury causing tooth non vital or due to internal resorption.
Consult dentist and go for radiograph xray if it is carious or nonvital then go for treatment.
Hope this will help you
