Dental Issues

Jess has trouble with her teeth. we were told it from medicine usage most likely antibiotics. She was on 1 MT4 before snacks and meals for the first 5 years of her life then we stopped. what do you know, she didn't need them!
we call her back teeth her 'popcorn' teeth because that is what they look like - popcorn kernels.
the dentist said the enamel is very weak and at some point she will need caps on them. I'm thinking of getting a second opinion.
I'm not sure which antibiotic would be responsible for this kind of damage. I thought only Tetracyline did that?
