It presents with systemic symptoms such as fatigue, pallor, and in severe cases, cardiovascular and neurological complications. But can anemia affect oral health—and more specifically, the color of the teeth? Although anemia itself does not typically cause intrinsic dental discoloration, there are indirect pathways through which it can be associated with pigmentation or staining of teeth. These connections are important for both medical and dental professionals to understand, especially when managing pediatric patients or those undergoing iron therapy.
