Anyone who has stained gray teeth from the use of Tetracycline as a kid, The main drug company who sold tetracycline back in the 60's and 70's was Pfizer.
They claim that they care about you and your health, If they do so care, Than they need to be man and woman enough to stand up and take blame and fix our teeth, It was us who had to walk around with ugly gray teeth so they could continue to push the sell of this drug knowing the damage it was doing.
It was us who had to go to school and face our class mates who made fun of our ugly gray teeth, It was us who wasn't excited to get up and go to school because of such laughter, It was us who now as adults have to put our hands over our face when we smile so no one will notice, It is us who have to explain to our children why our teeth is gray and no its not from not brushing, Its because a billion dollar business who makes drugs that are regulated by the government and wrote out by the doctors, The billion dollar drug company who claims they care so much about us.
Yes that is who the blame is on, Shame on you Pfizer for caring so much.
For caring so much that you would spends millions of dollars to fight the people who you caused damage to instead of paying out less to fix the problem. Yes the so caring drug maker who pushed the doctors and paid the doctor to write on a little piece of paper the word Tetracycline so they could take it to the pharmacy and get it filled.
Knowing from what the doctors told you about the damage to the teeth, Lets ignore that like it was never said. I say to anyone out there young and old if you have stained teeth damage from Tetracycline.
Please, Please send me an email to [protected]@bigstring.com
The more emails I get the better, Please get the word out if you know anyone who's teeth were damaged as stained gray from the use of Teracycline please give them my email and tell them to send me there first and last name, address and contact phone number.
Im going to take all the names etc and file a former complaint with Pfizer, And Im going to talk to a lawyer about filing a class action lawsuit against them.
Its not right, And we know its not right. So its time we stand up for what is right and fight back, If we have to boycott Pfizer than we shall do so, If your doctor gives you a drug, Find out if its made by Pfizer if so make him write you one that is made by a different drug maker.
Help me help you. This is American and its high time we start standing up as one. This country has went to ###, Or china I shall say, And its time when bring America back to its home.
Its time we stop sending jobs over sea's. Bring the jobs and troops home, Who care's that china's economy is booming, Our's was booming in the 90's until someone sold us out to china, No wonder there economy is booming.
Our government has let people from other countries come in here and buy us out, The sad thing is they gave them our tax dollars to start there business. I cannot remember the last time a true American was given money to start a business, Can you ? Never.
If our government would stop the corporations from sending our jobs oversea's we would not be in the shape we are in today. There is no place in america for greedy owners, We forgot to ship them oversea's.
Our government regulates drug makers, Why don't they step in and do something about damage thats related to drugs ? One reason that are just as responsible as the makers.
Please let me hear from you, This will not be the only website that I post on. I will make sure this is seen all over google, and other search engines. We shall not stop at no. Or it happen so long ago, That is a poor excuse, And we america's are tired of the excuses. Right. Im sure alot of people have spend sometime and effort in this matter, And you may have given up. But don't.
I saw a posting from a lawyer who laughed at a person who posted an add concerning Tetracycline and stained teeth, he said good luck. Shows how some not all lawyers don't care either. But it you flash money at them they seem to care alot than.
God Bless.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer’s satisfaction.
How was it resolved. They would pay you? if you kept quiet?
I was born in 1955 and have lived with horribly discolored teeth (gray) since I got my permanent teeth..Pfizer should own this and make the corrections necessary for us to have beautiful smiles too! Debbi F westsideauto@msn.com
Would love to know how this was resolved since I've been suffering with the same exact thing all my life and would like my resolved as well because I've spoken to three different attorneys and I'm going to file suit
I have a severe case of tetracycline staining, I was given tetracycline when I was around five years old my baby teeth turned yellow and my adult teeth are so dark, the Trauma of living with this my whole life has effected me tremendously, you feel helpless, worthless and the cost of getting my teeth fixed has always been out of reach, this is so much more than Cosmetic! Why are we forgotten about? Why are we made to suffer a lifetime from this? We do matter! We are important! The Manufactures of this need to pay everyone who has suffered from this drug! Kelli Gould. Gouldksue@aol.com
Me too. All my life dentists looked at each other and said Tetracycline. Never ever could I smile with confidence even though I was cheeky/funny but always shying from smiling. This is not an advert I swear to the almight. I went to Istanbul (Turkey) luckily I have a perfect erm 'bite' so it only cost me £2400 (including 5 star hotel breakfast only. But when they shave my teeth done I didn't enjoy food for a while so just nibbled stuff) I cannot say this enough I was overjoyed when they were done , I was scared of the horror stories) That was november 2022. Now end of Jan 2023. I was already confident but now i'm elated. 55 years old and never confident smile for 50 years! I said please no hollywood smile like Rylan and 2 shades lighter than bright. They look so natural, even a dentist said, oh my that's a good job. But still, the creators of this drug don't give a damn and have billions of money. [censored]!
Hi I have stained and damaged teeth from tetracycline use as a child . I was wondering

Hello. Im a 54 yearold female from Scotland. My teeth have always been discoloured (badly discoloured) and I remember being so self conscious as a child that I never smiled either, excluding myself from Christmas Parties, Birthday Parties etc and when forced to attend I came across as a moody and unsociable child. It has for years been a major cause of depression for me and I guess it always will be . My teeth are now becoming increasingly more brittle too. Maybe something gets worse with the menopause? I need this year alone extractions, crowns, root canal treatment and 8 fillings. I brush, I floss and I irrigate.
I simply can't afford new teeth
Hello, I am a twenty seven year old male from Canada. Who has had some major issues with teeth all his life from tetracycline. Just today I went to be examined for a extraction of a molar. I have to be further examined because they are worried my teeth and gums are decaying and my teeth may fall out if not fixed. It's quite possible that I may have no teeth in the future and the damage from the tetracycline making my enamel porous and susceptible to decay might be irreversible. Hoping it's not the case but I'm not sure how much of the damage is done and my fate of discomfort and further emotional damage from growing up and being self conscious about my teeth will further impact me.
I would really like to get in contact with you and further discuss action or what we can do to stick together and stick it to pfizer this is terrible and wrong and ALL of us have some similar trauma and suffering because of this drug. Please reach out to me at fredososa300@gmail.com please thank you
60 yrs old 4 original teeth remain, denture wearer to this date I don't smile
Yes
I too have had to live with discoloured teeth thanks to tetracycline
grey first teeth and yellow adult teeth
I am 58 years old now but it has had a profound impact on my life
Honestly think I would be a different person now if I had not been ridiculed and bullied as a child
Even dentists have remarked about the colour and I've had to explain it, as they did not know anything about the effects of this antibiotic
robert.taylor4747@gmail.com
I knew there were others with stained teeth like mine. I always dread smiling in pictures or going to a new dentist, who immediately says, "tetracycline right". Right, but so wrong, why do I have to pay for "cosmetic treatments" for something a drug company did to me?
Are you still collecting names etc. I too am a victim of this drug. I not only have gray teeth but I have spent thousands of dollars on crowns and now implants because of my weak teeth. I want in
I am 52 years old and have blue sclera in both eyes and yellow iridescent teeth due to my mother taking tetracycline while she was pregnant with me. She was not warned of the side effects to her unborn child.
As a result my eyes are incredibly sensitive to light, I cannot go out in even the slightest amount of sunlight without sunglasses.
I have also suffered with numerous dental issues from multiple crowns being needed over the years, to yellow teeth that can not be whitened at all. My teeth are also sensitive to hot and cold.
I’ve suffered with these conditions for most of my life, feeling they are worsening with age. I worry about how much worse these conditions can get and what I will lose as I get older. Pfizer should be held responsible for the damage this drug has done to those who have used it as well as those like me that were affected in the uterus.

My name is Loveline Kebreau I'm a victim of tetracycline stained teeth because of my teeth I feel like my whole life has been a joke and people look down on me or look at me like I never brush my teeth I've been depressed my whole life
I fully understand the agony visited upon the children of Tetracycline stained teeth and the health issues suffered. My daughter, born in 1962, was given Tetracycline as an infant and her permanent teeth came in a yellowish/brown. A condition with no corrective measures whatsoever at that time. Through the years we moved from "nothing can be done" to Crowns . However, in her young teen years the dentist advised against Crowns because of damage they do to the tooth during preparation. Thru the ensuing years, we asked repeatedly if there was something to remove or cover the stains. The answer was crowns. At 19, she received crowns on her two upper front teeth due to a fall that broke those teeth. Later she underwent whitening and I think bonding, but now she has suffered skin grafts to her gums. People who were given this nasty drug will never be free of the damage. When this first became known, the pharmaceutical and insurance companies successfully dismissed the damage as "cosmetic" and that has stuck to this day. Also, since it takes 5-10-20 years for the damage to become fully known, product liability and personal liability laws have successfully blocked litigation for remedy of the enormous damage suffered by victims.
My question is this: Mesothelioma victims class action suits have successfully sued for damages from Asbestos inhaled 20+years and more ago. How did the legal profession get around the Statute of Limitations to bring the class action lawsuits across the nation? Certainly, the lung damage occurred more than the Statute of Limitations permits in many states. We are still seeing ads on TV to sign up if you are a Mesothelioma patient. Is there an answer for this anywhere?
I sadly in 2015 was given mistakenly by my doctor Doxycycline when I was pregnant, my daughter age 4 and a half has 8 chipped Brocken teeth like small stumps.the dentist blames me and thinks it's sugar intake.my husband and 2 other son's all have perfect teeth no caverties or fillings.im fed up with being blamed.we have a solisiter who one day will see my daughter get the competition she deserves as ever day I blame myself.my email if anyone sees this is or can offer me any hope is richardmouat@gmail.com
I believe that similar procedures and treatments are best left to private clinics. Personally, I prefer just buying medicines from pfizer that really help. I advise you to see this article, maybe it will somehow outweigh your opinion.
https://bestpharmacyreviews.com/pfizer-com/
I believe that not many of us can afford private clinics. Is this what you did?
I, too, was given tetracycline as a 6-8 year old for ear infections. My teeth have been yellow-gray all of my life, despite vigorous brushing and assorted whitening products. My problem now is my teeth are literally cracking and splitting before falling out. I have an upper and lower partial but teeth continue to break and then I am without any teeth while my partial is sent out to get another tooth added. I’m at the point that I only have a few left and will need full dentures soon. Very costly, painful and time-consuming!
I am also a victim of tetracycline staining. I am 48 years old and have endured the embarrasement, teasing, and low self esteem from it. I have often wondered why their hasn't been a class action law suit. Pfizer is definitely responsible for the lifetime cost of a glamour smile for every person affected in addition to years of pain and suffering. Contact me with additional news and support regarding this. lisacrabtree19@gmail.com
I was given Tetracycline off and on from 1956 (birth year) until the age of 8 in 1964. My baby teeth and permanent teeth were damaged. Permanent teeth have always been curled (how on Earth does enamel curl?), gray with grooves etched into them with dark yellowish staining horizontally across top and bottom front teeth. I never smiled in school, was bullied about my teeth, told to brush my teeth, etc. People used to ask if I had worn braces. In my 30's my teeth began breaking vertically and therefore were lost; I have only 1 molar remaining, 4 top teeth, and 9 teeth at the bottom front, also severely stained and etched. Over my life since my 30's my teeth have been ground down by dentists so much that anything hot or cold is extremely painful. They were attempting to remove most of the staining I believe, no knowing that the teeth are stained all the way through.
Currently at the age of 62, I have pulled money out of my 401k so that I will be able to chew food for the rest of my life. Though I have not saved a lot of money for retirement, I realize I must eat and other than my disappearing teeth I am healthy. My dentist has told me that just to be able to eat with comfort this is going to cost at least $25, 000. I am in the process of growing bone with bone grafts. My 4 remaining top teeth have been ground down to yellow nubs while my tissues are healing and the bone grafts are growing. I have a false veneer over the top 4 yellow nubs to protect them. I place soft food on my tongue and swallow to have nourishment, no chewing is possible. This will be my life for the next 4-6 months while my mouth heals enough for implants and crowns. I feel very fortunate to have a least some money available because I know that others do not have the means for this expensive process. I have spent money on crowns over the years when I could afford them but there have been times when that was not possible.
Do the right thing, YOU CAN'T EAT MONEY!

Yes I have severe staining from tetracycline on my teeth. Very embarrassing and teeth decay easy because of it. I think someone owes us care of our teeth.
Have tetracycline stains on teeth . Terrible as kid and adult. Was asked as a CHILD at times by other young peers if I was a smoker. Quite embarrassing. I have spent a lot of money trying to fix this problem as well. Reading these does stir up an anger in me .
I'm in the uk, was given tetracycline as an infant, I'm 54 & only have 5 of my own teeth remaining on the bottom and full dentures on top. It's about time we were compensated by Pfizer with dental treatment. Reading your comments is quite comforting if infuriating, it's good to know I'm not alone feeling so desperate & self conscious x Cath UK
I too am a tetracycline victim. I was born with a hole in my heart in 1958. I was almost constantly on tetracycline for either preventative therapy due to heart, or for any cough, cold etc. Everything you all have said is the same for me. My first grade picture was the last school photo I did with a smile. At least the grey-green coloring matched my green dress. After my heart surgery in 1974, Boston Children's Hospital gave me veneers on the top front 6 teeth. In nursing school one of the veneers chipped off. Thankfully my best friend's father was a dentist and put on new veneers, gratis. Over the years, many of my teeth have been severely weakened and many have broken off. I am now in treatment for removing all my uppers and eventually lowers (once I can afford them) and getting dentures. It's the fault of the manufacturer. Not surprising that the $$ was/is more important than the toll on so many children. The devastation to my self-esteem has been enormous. Working at a hospital with such nasty looking teeth reinforced my insecurities directly related to the staining. If anyone does file a lawsuit, I'd like to be included. It is unconscionable and immoral of them.

My mother was prescribed tetracycline when she was pregnant and as a result I was born with stained teeth, and have experienced pain in all of my joints. I have had my knees, elbows, back operated on, and at age 53 had hip resurfacing done on my right hip and now need the same on my left. I have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars on my stained, brittle teeth, and joint surgeries. I did get porcelain veneers but at a fortune and over time they break or crack as well. Now my cavity ridden teeth are breaking and falling out, usually after expensive root canals to save the teeth. I have also had stomach problems all my life as well. My parents told me I had a lot of issues when I was young and blame it on tetracycline poisoning. Yes, it is a poison.
I find it to be a terrible misfortune to live in a country where people sue at the drop of a dime, but nothing can be done for the thousands that suffered a lifetime. I was never given a choice or told what would happen to my teeth when given this drug in the late 60’s. No amount of money would compensate for the effect this drug had on my life, both personally and professionally. It does seem fair that the corporation responsible for this pay to give those effected back their smiles. I too would love to be able to enjoy smiling at least once while still on this Earth.
After all these years has no one received compensation?
No if there's a compensation I pray I'm a part of it I'm a victim of tetracycline stained teeth I have depression because of it
My Teeth were also ruined by Pfizer's Tetracycline . Pfizer are a a massive billion Dollar Company whose only concern is to make money even though the Drug it is responsible for creating has ruined probably thousands of people's teeth who - Like me were given this awful Tooth destroying drug as an innocent child. I too was often made fun of at school & growing up & all because of what this awful Tetracycline drug did to my teeth. It turned them dark grey green . It reached the point where I found the name calling Unbearable & would skip going to school. I lost a lot of my education because Tetracycline. I have tried emailing Pfizer's Pharmaceutical Company several time's but have never received any reply. I hate this company for the massive amount of distress that I has been caused to me because of their Tetracycline. Things got so bad with my embarrassment of the coluor of my teeth that at the age of 17 I had them capped by an NHS dentist - He made such a dreadful mess of them that at the age of 52 I've had to wear Dentures for the 5 years . And all because of a a big fat Greedy Company called Pfizer's they just couldn't care less about the probably huge amount of people whose lives together with this drug they have ruined. I wish a well known Lawyer would take them on, As we the victims are the one's who have had to endure this misery for many years & all because Pfizer refuse to take any responsibility for this.
I am a grandmother with concerns about my grandson teeth.He is now 16 years old.I raise him from the age of 3 not knowing that he would end up with this major problem wanting to smile but afraid to because of his teeth. He has manage to deal with the teasing of his teeth though the years. He wants to go to college and play football and study Medicine. My grandson was given a medication put out by Pfizer (Tetracycline) years ago causing his teeth to discolor. I am placing a compliant against this company. I can't afford to have cosmetics treatment on his teeth..I need some help.. He has had good dental treatment, braces, and whitening from Walmart nothing has help..I feel that Pfitzer should be responsible for further treatment. What can I do.

Viagra and any other commercial using words such as erictile disfunction is with out a doubt unappropriate on tv for our childrn to hear and see. How do you explain to a young child what erectile disfuction is? Why should we have to? Children from age 4 and up hear much more on tv than any of us ever heard growing up. We should be more responcable in how the media and or tv is allowed to expose these thing to our youth. Yes we can block unappropriate shows from the innecent minds of children but we have no way to block the commercials. This is as bad as the 800 numbers back in the 80's and 90's that we all had to hear. How do we correct this problem and get back moral tv?
They put me on the drug at birth so there was no avoiding the inherent issues with the drug. One comment I did not see, though I did not read all of them, is the inability to donate bone marrow. Not only did I deal with the bullying and name calling my entire childhood, the drug removed all enamel from my adult teeth and has made them extremely brittle like a lot of the commenters here.
I am hoping this attempt at a lawsuit is still open, please let me know at "Mboy22@surewest.net"
thank you!
I cried reading the former entries as I know how everyone feels and had no idea how many others went through the same things I have. Something must be done to make Pfizer help those of us who have been so traumatized by tetracycline. I was given tetracycline as an infant in 1968 for bronchitis. I had chronic trouble with my baby teeth and it got worse with my adult teeth. My adult teeth are discolored, have grooves in them, and a couple of molars were so misshapen they had to be removed. I was fortunate enough to have a dad who saw how I covered my mouth and tried not to smile, (I still don't like having my picture taken. ). My father helped me to get the front upper teeth capped at 16 which helped. It was horribly painful because I have problems with novocaine and the dentist didn't believe I could possibly feel what he was doing. Over 30 years later, The caps are popping off and one tooth has become weakened by being ground down and snapped. I had to save for a root canal and an implant. I did veneer the bottom front, but they are wearing away and breaking. All the caps.need to be replaced but I can't afford to do it as I am now on disability due to Sjogren's and MS..please let me know about a lawsuit as I am interested in joining.
I was born in June of 1960, and due to severe asthma attacks I was given large doses ofTetracycline for several years. I too have severe greying of my teeth. Many crowns, bridges and root canals has plagued my life ever since I could remember. I am now dealing with three missing back teeth, in a row. Chewing on only one side of my mouth has brought me to my current situation of looking into implants, which I cannot afford. I have several other health issues, one of which is MS, so I am living on a fixed income from social security disability which covers only my health insurance. Due to lost income, I have spent all of my IRA retirement to help keep our mortgage payments paid, so my house won't be lost.
I am dying inside, and was hoping that someone has started a law suit against Pfizer to help all of us in this situation.

Hi, I was given tetracycline in Nova Scotia, Canada, while under the age of eight, sometime between 1972 and 1976 for frequent ear infections. It destroyed the enamel on my baby teeth resulting in most of htem being pulled. My adult teeth came in larger, crooked, and yellow. They have always been prone to cavities, every checkup resulting in at least one filling or extraction, usually more. A few years back, they began breaking off near the gum without any sign of damage beforehand and fortunately no pain. Weakened, dead, and rotten from the inside. I’ve lost over half my upper teeth and numerous lower ones this way requiring replacements built on posts where possible and leaving gaps that have left me with one good chewing contact. An upper plate seems inevitable.
Needless to say this has been embarrassing, painful, and expensive. I’m autistic and find dentists especially traumatizing, every time. It has affected my life also its entire length.
I have tetracycline stains on my teeth from being given it as a child for chronic bronchitis. At the time the drug hadn't been on the market very long and this discoloration side-effect was not known . I am a 57 year old female with badly stained teeth who has been asked all my life if I was mad/sad/pissed off/you name it just because I rarely smiled. In photographs you can see how gray the bottoms of my teeth look if I even crack a hint of a smile. I'm not a wealthy person and the last estimate I got to put porcelain veneers on just the top front 8 teeth was over $22, 000! How can one afford that? I don't want a lot, but I think that drug companies should be made to pay for fixing patients smiles with veneers...the statute of limitations may have run out, but I think that in some states, there is some leeway in regards to this. Please add me to your list of complaints.

Over our lifetimes, We have spent many thousands of dollars on our teeth due to the damages from tetracycline. Someone should help us with this. Why not is our government helping those that have been damaged by this drug?

I have spent thousands of dollars over the years on my teeth. Recently, in my late 50's I married and my husband paid for a complete dental reconstruction due to my stained teeth and damage by the drug tetracycline. Same issues as everyone else cursed by this drug. Life as a child and teenager was terrible always covering my mouth. Then later in years, the dental work was very painful. As you age, it all has to be redone. I must have spent over my life at least $100, 000 on my teeth. Shame on this company and our government for not setting up a fund to help those who have not fixed their teeth and to reimburse us for the damages and costs that they created with administering this drug. I agree a lawsuit is appropriate. JUST NOT RIGHT! Surely there is someone who cares? Deborah Barfield contact me at deborahbarfield@sbcglobal.net. Houston, Texas.
I am 59 (born in 1956) and I also have suffered with ugly gray discolored teeth because of tetracycline. My Mother was a nurse and my Dad and Uncle were doctors. As a kid, every time I got a sick with a cold, strep throat, ear infections or anything I was given tetracycline. They did not know that tetracycline would do this. As a result, my teeth are discolored. At the age of 21 I did get 6 front crowns which helped some but now I am faced with having to replace them all because they are old. If there is a class-action lawsuit addressing this I would also like to know. Email me at glsimerl@charter.net.
I am 55 and I too have suffered with gray teeth because of Pfizer and the FDA who I found out knew about it and did nothing to stop it, and it's been miserable. I would love to join in on a lawsuit if there is one. Please email me and let me know. My email is dawndonnelly61@yahoo.com
