I have been on abx for 2 months and I am starting to see some significant discoloration in between many of my teeth. It was a unpleasant discovery. Is it likely from the abx? What can be done?

Thanks so much!

Yes,it's the antibiotics,are you on Doxy?

Mine were very discoloured,they cleaned up perfectly after I came off the treatment :-)

Don't worry,they will be pearly white again.

I am not on doxy. I am on nystatin, and two others. I can't remember which ones at the moment. My cognitive functions are pretty bad righty now lol.

I have been on them for 2 months and likely will be for a year or more. Do you feel that even with this sort of duration they will still clean up? So its on the outside of the teeth like a stain versus something inside?

Thanks!!!

Yes, the stains are on the outside of the tooth and should clear when you come off the abx., although some take a while to clear. If you are not on Doxy, you are likely on one of the tetracyclines, another abx that stains teeth.

Hi,

This is what I am currently on...
nystatin
Azythromycin
Amoxicillin

So even if I am on abx for a year or more it should clear up eventually?

Thanks

Hi!

 

I have been on I.V. antibiotics and orals for over a year and they do stain, but my dentist said there was no damage. I was also worried about the enamel from all the lemon water, etc. Anyway they got out a special blaster and they were once again white.
