Unhappy Phone call from vet about Rebel's teeth

My vet called about Rebel's teeth. He said that what he thought was buildup on his canines is actually damaged enamel He said this is very unusual and he asked me several questions.

He said that this could be caused by tetracyclene (Rebel hasn't taken it), antibiotics taken orally ( Rebel hasn't done that), or a bad distemper vaccine.

He said that the vaccine could've given him a very mild case of distemper with the enamel on his canines being the only sign that he had it. I was very upset. I asked him Rebel was in danger of losing the permanent canines and he said he couldn't really answer that. He said there was always the possibility of him breaking one, but that could happen with any dog. He said all his other teeth are white and fine.

Has anyone every heard of this?
