What is it?: These are changes in the appearance of the enamel that range from faint white lines or stains to more pronounced coloring and textures, depending on the degree.
Common signs: White, yellowish, or brown stains, and in some cases an uneven tooth surface.
Which specialist treats it?: The dentist evaluates the enamel; the pediatric dentist, the endodontist, and the orthodontist may be involved depending on the age and the case. If you notice these changes in your smile or your children's, a professional evaluation helps guide the care.
