Q: My baby’s first four teeth are green in colour? Some people says that it might be as a result of night feeding, is this true? Please help. She is eleven months old and was admitted to a hospital as soon as she was born because she contacted hospital infection at UCH and later her PCV went down. She was transfused before she was discharged.

A:Green teeth could be because of the infection and medicines at time of birth. It is important to see a Dentist so that he check if it this or it cavities. If they are cavities then fillings would be needed.
