Yellowing teeth in 8 year old

My 8 year old had a molar pulled. She was on 2 separate doses of antibiotic about 2 weeks a part, during the surgery she also had a dose of antibiotic. A few days after the surgery I noticed her teeth turning yellow. After screaming and brushing her teeth myself over and over again, they are not yellowing due to lack of brushing. Her teeth went from white to really dark yellow in 1 week. What causes this? How can I get her teeth white again? Please help!

There are many possible reasons for the yellow color occurring. One is that the antibiotic might have stained the teeth. Or another is that there is an infection and that's causing the other teeth to decay. You should probably have that looked at by a Dentist and they can asses exactly what the issue is and let you know what the remedy would be.

If you have any other questions, of my dentists friend's sites is pretty comprehensive so you may want to look for other answers there, Dentist Atlanta .
