Hello everyone
I was wondering if anybody out there has come across the problem of iron tablets turning teeth black and if anything can be done to reverse it.
my mum who is taking the tablets along with a good few others, weve noticed, that her teeth are very discoloured, she's always had lovely white teeth before this, they are all her own,
when we mentioned it to the nurse tonight she said it could be the iron tablets doing it!
she's also taking epilim which is quite thick but red in colour i thought it might have been this staining her teeth.
ive never heard of this before, anybody got any ideas?
best wishes
