Aesthetic management of discoloured incisors in children.

Children can often present with discolouration of their teeth, commonly affecting their permanent maxillary central incisors. These opacities can often cause children to suffer with psychosocial and confidence related issues. With long waiting lists in secondary care, many children may face increased waiting times to receive aesthetic dental treatment. It is important that the dental professional is aware of the different causes of discolouration, the possible treatment options and when to consider a referral to secondary care.
