Amelogenesis Imperfecta treatment in Irapuato

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a hereditary disorder that affects the formation of tooth enamel, the outer layer that protects the teeth, making them more fragile, sensitive, or altered in color and texture.

Common symptoms: Teeth that wear down or discolor easily, greater sensitivity to cold or heat, and thin or irregular enamel in both baby and permanent teeth.

Common causes: It is due to genetic variants that interfere with enamel mineralization, which is why it usually appears in several members of the same family.

Which specialist treats it? Its management corresponds to the dentist, with support from the pediatric dentist in childhood and, depending on the case, from the orthodontist. If you notice that teeth look fragile or sensitive from an early age, it is worth having it reviewed by a dental professional.
