Antibiotics Side Effect #7: Teeth Changing Colors

This effect is more likely to occur in children and tends to occur with antibiotics like tetracycline and doxycycline. These drugs can discolor the teeth and can actually leave permanent stains in younger children if their teeth haven’t developed properly.

It’s also not wise for pregnant women to take these particular antibiotics because they can have an adverse effect on the developing teeth of their fetus. Make sure to double check with your doctor about this symptom if you are getting medication for your children.
