Tooth Development Abnormalities |
pediatric dentistry |
Sometimes there are disturbances when a child is developing, which can cause discoloration and/or deformation of his teeth. These disturbances can be local, disturbing only one or a few teeth, or they can be generalized, disturbing most of the teeth. These defects can affect normal chewing, increase the susceptibility of tooth decay, as well as adversely affect the child's looks (which may cause self-consciousness). Your pediatric dentist can provide comprehensive treatment that will not only restore the teeth to their normal function and appearance, but will also help your child feel better about his/her looks.
