make sure she takes her vitamins/calcium supplements, and go to a specialist.
brush them.
or ask the denitist? duh.
Sonicare toothbrush and colgate total.
if that doesn't work id say go to a specialist and ask about steam cleaning ( it does work )
giver her calcium supplements.
Crest white strips.
Have her brush her teeth with baking soda, after she brushed with regular toothpaste.
Have her teeth whitened
tHIS IS A VERY COMMON OCCURENCE. MY DAUGHTER ENDED UP HAVING VENEERS PUT ON HER TEETH TO EVEN HER TOOTH COLOR
First I question whether your sisters teeth are stained because of antibiotics... the most common stains caused by antibiotics are either yellow or light gray... caused by using Tetracycline Erythromycin... I'm not aware of an atibiotic that would cause the teeth to be stained white (frankly I would expect people to be searching out sucha drug and taking it if it made their teeth white)...
I'm also not sure why the dentist would think your mom giving your sister antibiotic when she was a baby would impact her permanent teeth now... Frankly I would go get a second opinion from another more competent dentist. You may find that the dentist you have been using has caused the problem with how he attached the braces and is trying to cover his *** for the mistake.
Aside from that... there are several options for stained teeth depending on what has actually stained them... they range from laser treatments for some antibiotic stains to whitening or cosmetic veneers... But first get a second opinion from an outside dentist (not one that works in your current dentists office).
your dentist is a liar. thats not what causes that.
