Front teeth discoloration
My son has slight discoloration just below gums on front two upper teeth. Doctor has said it may be due to fluoride in water. I use chicco non fluoride toothpaste for him. I am worried it may last permanently for him. Will it go away or any treatment required?

If it is deciduous ( milk) tooth then it might be decay. If permanent tooth, they may be fluoride. Please mention the age.

Kindly share image.
If those are fluoride stains they will stay permanently. If looking good is a priority then dental veneers or laminates can be done.
