Ds' Big Teeth Are Coming In Very Yellow

DS (almost 6) has so far lost his two front bottom teeth. The new teeth that have come in are yellow. His baby teeth are all healthy looking and he's never had a cavity. I suspect they're yellow due to celiac disease. He was only diagnosed late August. So, will all his big teeth be yellow?!? poor guy. Do we go see the gastroentologist about this or the dentist? Is there anything we can do to get them whiter or is he condemned to having yellow teeth? :(

Unfortunately, the permanent teeth are formed inside the gums long before they come out. So, it is quite possible that they will all be yellow. It is also possible that his teeth are so yellow because he doesn't have enamel on them (common with people with celiac disease).

Dentists will whiten teeth with bleach (personally, I don't think that is healthy to do), or you could use a whitening toothpaste (same concern). Or he could have porcelain veneers attached to the front of his teeth when he is older. If he doesn't have enamel, he needs caps, or his teeth will get cavities and rot away eventually.

You definitely need to take your son to a dentist to have him evaluated. The gastro won't be able to help.

And yes, it is quite likely that the celiac disease has caused this.

I am sorry if this sounds terrible. But these days a lot of things can be done to fix teeth (none of them cheap, though). Good thing you are concerned enough to find help now. I am sure it will turn out fine in the end.

The same thing happened to my now 9 year old daughter. Can't believe I didn't even think about Celiac as a possible cause. She did have a few cavities so I just chalked it up to bad genes. We have very soft, easily decayed teeth, regardless of care.

However, our dentist just cleaned them very well and was able to temporarily whiten them. As long as we go every six months, they stay pretty white. She used something laser like. She said she only uses it on some teeth. My other daughther didn't need the "laser tool" for her cleaning. My daughter with Celiac was so happy to see her teeth white. I didn't even realize how bad the yellow tint bothered her until they were spakly white! Good luck-

I'm so sorry to hear that, I"m pretty sure it's from the Celiac desease! Muy Babydaughters teeth are all totally seethrough when they break through the gums, I hope it'll be a bit better with her second set of teeth then, allthough UI know that they are already in the gums waiting to come out in several years! I hope it'll help that we fouind out so ealry with her! I'm interested to see what your dentist says aobut hthis and how he can help! who knows what it's gonna be like with our kids!

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed...

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
