My son is 5 years old and his teeth are already black. Could this be due to lead poisoning?

Patient's question:

My son is 5 years old and his teeth have turned black. Could this be due to lead poisoning?
Treatment history and effectiveness: No specific treatment has been administered.
What kind of help are you seeking: To check if there is lead poisoning.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, I consider that poor nutrition or illness during the growth and development of teeth may interfere with the fibrosis of the teeth, or that excessive fluoride in the water can cause teeth discoloration when consumed in large quantities. In this case, I suggest you first visit a hospital to see a dentist. Based on the results of a thorough examination, treatment should be administered accordingly. If it is a cavity, I recommend using fluoride toothpaste for brushing. I hope the child recovers soon!
