Long term use of tetracycline can stain teeth, but in my two years of doxycycline usage, I did not see any dramatic changes in coloration.
tetracycline
Not unless you want the child's permanent teeth to be discolored. Tetracycline antibiotics (of which doxycycline is a member) have a particular side effect that causes discoloration in developing bone. While purely cosmetic, the discoloration of teeth is permanent. For this reason, doxycycline is not given to children under 18 or to pregnant mothers (who could transmit the drug to the fetus, causing discolorations in teeth).
Tetracycline
Tetracycline should not be given to children under 8 years because it can cause permanent discoloration of developing teeth, leading to yellow, gray, or brown staining. Additionally, it may interfere with bone growth and development. The risk of these adverse effects outweighs the benefits of using tetracycline in this age group. Therefore, alternative antibiotics are typically recommended for young children.
NO, they are not safe they can do permanent damage <depends on your teeth but at time they can be kind of safe you should go check with your dentist that would be the best thing to do :)

Yes it is safe. There are no interactions between the two.
Amoxicillin does not stain your teeth. Tetracycline group of antibiotics do stain your teeth. So they are contraindicated in pregnancy and for children below eight years of age.
