Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The brown stains could be because of the enamel hypoplasia or fluorosis. consult a pediatric dental surgeon and get it examined once and rule out it from deposits over the teeth. if it is deposit get the teeth cleaned. if it is enamel hypoplasia or fluorosis nothing can be done for milk teeth for brown stains. if there is pitting of the teeth that can be restored. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
