-The use of tetracyclines, especially the MP antibiotic [[home:mp:mpmeds:minocycline|minocycline]] during tooth development, which occurs during the second half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of eight years, may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow/gray/brown). However, teeth staining can happen in adults as well. +The use of tetracyclines, especially the MP antibiotic [[home:mp:minocycline|minocycline]] during tooth development, which occurs during the second half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood up to the age of eight years, may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow/gray/brown).

 This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug, but it has been observed following repeated short-term courses. Use of minocycline is generally avoided in children under age eight for that reason. In some situations, the benefits of using minocycline may outweight the risk of cosmetic changes in the teeth. The risk is probably less when the doses are low, and it does not appear that all children develop tooth staining. Enamel hypoplasia (poor development) has also been reported.(({{pubmed>long:11089368}})) This adverse reaction is more common during long-term use of the drug, but it has been observed following repeated short-term courses.

-In older children and adults, temporary discoloration of teeth occurs infrequently(({{pubmed>long:15485524}})) and not in doses recommended by the MP. The MP uses [[home:mp:mpmeds:antibiotic_dosing|low doses of minocycline]] that are only a fraction of what is typically used for other treatments. +In older children and adults, temporary discoloration of teeth occurs infrequently(({{pubmed>long:15485524}})) and not in doses recommended by the MP.

 The staining is actually of the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) and so may be removed with efficient cleaning or by a dental hygienist. MP patients may notice greater plaque and tartar build-up while on the MP. The staining is actually of the plaque and tartar (hardened plaque) and so may be removed with efficient cleaning or by a dental hygienist.
