it only discolors permanet teeth when they havent come out yet. so if you are older than 6 years old, it wont discolor anything.
i read that in wikipedia
usually not for short term, i used it for acne about 3 years and there were no discoloring side affects for me. i have also used rubbing alcohol to help dry the affected skin.
Yes, tetracycline can discolor teeth if you take it for a prolonged period of time. Although, if you take Vitamin C along with tetracycline, you can avoid the staining.
If you are still concerned about staining, please consult your dermatologist for a different treatment.
