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).

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 :)

Treatment includes antibiotics such as:DoxycyclineTetracyclineChloramphenicol (less common)Tetracycline taken by mouth can permanently stain teeth that are still forming. It is usually not prescribed for children until after all of their permanent teeth have grown in.Patients with epidemic typhus may need intravenous fluids and oxygen.
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.
Primary teeth are smaller and look whiter than permanent teeth because they have thinner enamel. Their roots are also shorter and thinner. Primary teeth are usually just 20, while there are 32 permanent adult teeth. Permanent teeth will start to appear when a child is around six years old, and the jaw is large enough.
