Right I had my teeth whitened some time last year in about July, using opalescence which was a success and now I'm taking lymecelline for my acne, I've been on it for about 5 weeks and have seen some improvements with my acne although the problem is the fact that it could cause staining - instead of looking in the mirror at my acne I'm more focused on my teeth and making sure they aren't getting stained - which is causing me a little bit of stress. I'm 18 - full adult teeth.

And was wondering if anyone who has taken lymecelline has got stained teeth while doing the treatment - and how bad this was, if i start seeing a large difference then I'll probably stop the treatment. I also heard that the staining from these antibiotics come from childhood when your adult teeth aren't developed.

I've got a dentist appointment next month so I'll ask if they have changed colour and probably undergo more treatment on them - at the moment I'm taking pictures in good light (natural bathroom) and they seem ok BUT IT'S STRESSING ME OUT, any comments would be helpful, thanks

They shouldn't stain your teeth. Staining teeth is observed in younger people, who don't have fully developed teeth(although if you are 18 then I quess it's possible it will stain your wisdom teeth?). ALTHOUGH I heard some anecdotes about people your age who suspected that using lymecycline stained their teeth.
