Her front teeth have some yellowish brown appearance. Please see the attached pic.

Brief Answer:
Can be staining, please provide more details.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for writing to us.

Well, it looks like staining as the teeth are not appearing pitted or no abnormality is visible in other teeth.

However I need a few more details so that I can advise you better.

-Since how long are the stains present?
-Is the staining seen on other teeth also?
-Are the teeth surface smooth or rough?
-Is the staining as it is or is increasing?
- Any other abnormality in teeth or growth of your child?

Please revert back with answers..

Regards.
