What was not apparent early on was that if used in the tooth’s developmental stages it would turn them a funky grayish black color. Now there are hundreds of thousands of people walking around with fabulously gray striped teeth! -- With that said, today dentists can help them. There are conservative to advanced techniques that will address the issue and restore smiles to something people can feel confident about.
