Good morning. My teeth have a nice color, my children have a similar color of teeth. However, the color of the enamel changes when we are ill, especially when we have temperature. The tooth literally splits in half, the lower part turns yellowish, the upper one turns blue-white. It is clearly visible. After the babies were born, I saw that after changing the color of the babies' teeth, I could tell if they had an elevated temperature. I have asked many dentists about it, but none have encountered such a phenomenon. Color returns to normal after illness.

Each organism reacts differently to elevated temperature. It is the result of the immune changes taking place at that time. If everything returns to normal with the end of the disease, don't be alarmed. Seeing such changes in children, you may react earlier to the approaching illness.
