Hi Doctor.. My 2 year old sons teeth have been turning into a blackish color since a few days now. The only change that we can say is that we have been using Vitcofol Iron Syrup since a couple of weeks now. Is this a cause of concern? Should we stop using Vitcofol?
Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Read your query. Vitcofol iron syrup do cause staining of the teeth. If I were your treating dentist, I would suggest you to clean or gargle the mouth immediately after having the medicine.Also, dilution of the syrup with some juice or water will also help in preventing the stains. If the stains are increasing, consult the pediatrician. Hope this was helpful. Thanks and regards.
