Could Brown Spots On Posterior Portion Of Teeth Connected To Adderall?

I take Adderal 5 days/week. Lately I noticed some brown spots on the posterior portion of my front teeth-no pain. I do have a partial lower denture that rubs sometimes againest the back of these teeth. Could these brown spots be connected to the Adderal?

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The brown spots on the posterior portion of the teeth is not related to adderall. The possible cause of the brown spots could be because of the extrinsic stains or abrasion or arrested caries or because of the rubbing or abrasion from the denture.. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is because of the extrinsic stains then get your teeth cleaned and if it is because of the caries, then get the teeth filled.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Dear User,

Thanks for using health care magic.

The side effect of adderal does not include staining of teeth. It is highly unlikely that your brown spots are due to adderal.

Generally brown spot can be present if there is calculus deposition due to improper cleaning of teeth.
I advice you to use mouth wash at least three times a day which will reduce your brown spots and will keep oral hygiene in better form.
