My 8 yr old has yellow teeth. When his teeth fall

Q. My 8 yr old has yellow teeth. When his teeth fall out new ones very quickly turn yellow again within just a few days, regardless of how much we brush them. Our dentist says his teeth are healthy, but they dont look very nice. He gets teased at school and I would really like to get them white without damaging his teeth. What can I do?

A. Your dentist is probably right.  Unfortunately it is not a good idea to bleach teeth at such a young age.  Sorry that I have no magical solutions
