My 2 year old grandaughter got ahold of a felt pen and unfortunately coloured her teeth with it. How can we safely remove her "work of art"?
Also, if she swallows some of the ink (which I'm sure has already happened) is it harmful?

Call a dentist to see about getting it removed. Don't put anything harsh on her teeth to cause harm to the enamel. Maybe it will come off by itself gradually. Maybe, the dentist will tell you what you can do that is safe.
Good luck.

You might try baking soda, but I doubt it'll work (don't use too much, or you'll make her barf!).
If that doesn't work, don't try too many other things - could make her sicker. Call a dentist to see if they have an idea - they can probably tell you, too, whether the ink would hurt her (doubt it, but it's good to check).
Oh, and before you erase it, get a vid of her smile and send it to America's Funniest Home Videos! :)
