I am 58 y/o I was given tetracycline as a baby. This ruined both sets of my teeth I have had yellow teeth my entire life. I have never been able to afford to spend 20,000.00 to place veneers on my teeth, I would love to have white teeth once in my life.

I was given Tetracycline in early 60's as a child. Now in my 50's my teeth are deterating because it.

I was given tetracycline in puberty for cystic acne. My teeth are discolored and have been breaking off. I have lost most of my back teeth.

Born in 1962, i was given Tetracycline as a 2 year old, as the rest of your replys have said , i had to put up with comments from other kids on the playground about the colour of my teeth. Fortunatly at the age of 13 after an accident , i was reffered to the Eastmans Dental Hospital, where they crowned my front teeth,due to the staining, top and bottom. this helped with my confidence, but hiding your smile for so long is a hard habbit to break. On the down side , i am now facing massive dental fee's repairing deterioratng crowns .
Maybe it's time for someone to compensate us

I've lived for 50+ years with stained teeth because of Pfizer's lack of foresight in product development and refusal to shoulder responsibility after the damage occurred. I even emailed the entire board of directors asking them to fix my teeth and just got a letter from their law department, wanting information, but no attempts to ameliorate the problem. I have this lovely little fantasy about sneaking into the next Pfizer board meeting dressed as a waitress. I put something like ink into all of their coffee and then ask them to smile with blue teeth. I then reveal myself and ask them why they would be embarrassed or feel humiliated? There's would wear off in a week or two, mine has endured for 50 frickin' years. I'd tell them to go ahead...have me arrested! I'll bet that would send the message to those jerks.

I was two or three, when I was given Tetracycline for an ear infection in the early 70's, and as a result, it turned my teeth grey and yellow. Everybody knows what children do to other children with ugly teeth...they're bullied and laughed at. And when you become an adult, you are ignored and looked down at. To have your life and future pulled out from under you as an innocent child should be a crime punishable by life in prison. In my humble opinion, as a victim of Tetracycline, the makers and sellers of Tetracycline need to be punished for their crimes. For permanently staining innocent children's teeth, as well as, permanently staining their psyche's. -You can put an amount on the physical damage, but no amount, can fix the psychological damage.

I was given tetracycline for a kidney infection and found out I was pregnant. I was given no warnings about this drug. We didn't know that I was pregnant but when the doctor found out that I was he suggested that I should consider having an abortion because of all of the possible 'birth defects' that this drug may give my unborn baby. We elected to keep our precious baby and he has been a blessing. He did however, have a heart defect, facial defect and a horrible case of tetracycline teeth. We were able to deal with the heart and facial issue, but his teeth were another matter. He is 34 years old now, and even though he is very good looking, he seldom smiles and never shows his teeth. He is very shy and very self conscious about his teeth. He doesn't date and those that know him best know that he would be an absolutely wonderful husband and father, but his teeth hold him back and affects his confidence. As a mother of a wonderful son, this breaks my heart.
If there is any funding available to help him get some kind of cosmetic surgery, please let me know. I am on social security and don't have the money to doo this for him. I would strongly support a lawsuit against the drug company and am discouraged that nothing has been done.

I have had gray teeth all my life. I have tried so many things trying to brighten my teeth and nothing works. I did not find out about Tetracycline side effects until I was grown. My Mom told me about it. I was born in 1964. It is really bad to go through life NEVER smiling unless you cover your mouth or keep your mouth closed. I would love to have implants but who can afford 25-30 grand on teeth. If this company ever stands up and takes responsibility for this drug, I want to be on that list. That would make me smile with my teeth showing!

I was born in 1962 and was given Tetracycline from the approximate age of two years old. This medication caused staining to my teeth which has been a major source of embarrassment my entire life. As mentioned in previous posts I also ran the gauntlet of hurtful and often soul destroying remarks and this was not only from fellow school children but also from adults. I work in a hospital and have received regular comments from patients over the years, which are more often than not, always made when there is an audience present. I reached the point where I am not only afraid to smile but don't want to smile many years ago. The result has caused me to feel depressed and almost decimated my self esteem and this is becoming more pronounced as time goes on.

I was given tetracycline as a young child because I was allergic to penicillin. This was back in late 1960's. I have read articles that Pfizer was the main drug manufacturer of this drug at that time. My teeth are blue/gray stained, and they have been this way for as long as I can remember. I was told that there was a law suit out there somewhere for people who were taking this drug before they knew the side effects, is that true? I to have tried other methods of whiting my teeth, nothing works! Veneer's are thousands of dollar's, shouldn't the drug company be responsible!!!!

I was born in 1965, my brother in 1963 and we both have the staining. My mom always said the staining is from taking tetracyline as a baby. They didn't know it stained your permanent teeth at the time. I had bonding done when I was a teenager resulting in teeth that looked like chicklets. When I was 25, I had the bonding removed and handed over my first bonus check (as a pharmaceutical rep, just realized how funny that is now) to a dentist to put on 8 veneers. The bonding looked terrible, maybe worse than the stained teeth and the veneers of the early 90's were better but not quite right. These veneers are now 23 years old and it was time about 10 years ago to have them replaced. I have not done this because it will run about $20,000 to have them done right and about $10,000 to have them done wrong.

I was born in 61 My teeth are stained and embarrassing
My parent tried bleaching when I was 12 they paid a lot and I suffered through the treatments with not much success
When I was 21 they paid for veneers for my top teeth only
they have caused great emotional suffering and "held e back"
My parents said tetracycline was given to my mother while pregnant
My teeth should be fixed at cost to drug company

My teeth stained by tetracycline has been a source of embarrassment for me my entire life. Pfizer should step up to the plate and return those affected to a semblance of normalcy. Fix our teeth!,,,

I was given tetracycline as a child. I was born in 1967. I have severe staining of all my teeth and have lived much of my life feeling ashamed of my smile and afraid to open my mouth. I have endured the uncomfortable stares and looks of disgust from people and the hurtful comments -"your teeth are ugly" "Why don't you brush". I feel like I've been spending my life in hiding because of this issue. It has impacted my personal life and held me back in my career aspirations. Its not my fault that this happened but if I want to do anything about it I have to shell out $25,000 to have a smile makeover. I can't afford this and I shouldn't have to pay such a steep price to fix someone else's mistake. Its time the pharmaceutical company takes responsibility for the suffering they have caused in our lives.
Praying for justice for all of us who suffer because of this...

I have stained teeth from tetracycline. My permanent teeth came in stained; I would always be embarrassed and hide my teeth whenever I had pictures taken. I think the worst times for me where during middle and high school. I think Pfizer should be responsible for paying for laminates for all that was affected by this drug.
