My baby is a late teether: She is just getting her first tooth at 10.5 months. It is barely emerging from the gumline, but there appears to be a tiny brownish spot already on the tooth! I've tried to brush it away with the baby toothbrush, but no luck.
She has a bottle of juice maybe 1-2 times a week. We have never let her take a bottle to bed, not even once. I know about bottle mouth/teeth, but this is her first tooth! Is it possible for a tooth to grow in with problems/decay?
I am about to call her ped, but I thought I'd ask around and see if anyone has had a similar experience and knew anything about this? Dr Google isn't saying much yet!
Thanks.

It's not decay, it's a damaged nerve in her tooth. I have one and it's always been there..she probably hit her tooth on something and damaged a nerve which is what that spot is. It's totally fine..nothing you did wrong :-)

i had the same thing on my tooth when i was a baby. It was a darker spot..they said it was just a calcium spot / marbilization or something. It wasnt harmful at all. Unfortunately it came in on that same tooth when my adult tooth grew in so i got it capped but its nothing anyone did..just the way it happens sometimes.

My child and my friends child went through the same thing on both front teeth at that age. It was apparantly too much iron. i had been giving him an iron supplement and stopped after that. it finally went away.
Still, ask your Dr. to make sure.
