Teeth and breath holding question

Hey mamas.. A couple different questions.
My son has 2 teeth on the bottom and I just noticed today that they are black/grey on the back and also a little black/grey streak on the fronts. I googled and was finding it could be from iron in formula. Anyone experience this?? I have brushed and tried wiping with a cloth and it won't come off. He never goes to bed with a bottle and has never had juice. It doesn't look like rot, definitely more like a stain.
Next question is sometimes at night when he is drinking his bottle he will wait awhile to take his next breath. He will fall asleep (but still drinking) and then I will notice he hasn't taken a breath in so I will wiggle the bottle a little and then sometimes it's simple for him to get the breath and sometimes it takes a few seconds and he gets a little panicky. It doesn't happen everyday and it's only when he has his bottle and gets sleepy. I have always thought it was normal (even tho it's a little scary) but at what age is it not normal? I am going to put a call into the dr tomorrow regarding these things but it's always nice to get fellow mamas opinions. Thanks.

Re: Teeth and breath holding question
We call it Black line stain. I see many young children with this. It does come off usually with an instrument or a coarse paste. But, I have never had someone bring in their 6 mo old for removal. I'm not sure how that would work. I guess if it's a super cooperative baby?!
