POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy4 months agoA. If your 8-month-old baby has developed white or yellowish spots or discolored lines on her teeth, it could be due to a few common reasons. One possibility is fluorosis, which happens if the baby is exposed to too much fluoride—usually from toothpaste or fluoridated water. Another reason could be early tooth decay (also called "nursing caries") if the baby frequently drinks milk or juice from a bottle during sleep. Sometimes, enamel hypoplasia, a condition where the enamel doesn’t form properly, can also cause such marks.
This is not always serious, but it’s best to consult a pediatric dentist. Early dental checkups help prevent further damage and ensure proper care. Until then, gently clean her gums and teeth with a soft baby brush and plain water—no toothpaste unless your doctor advises it.
