This is a big word which basically means that there is hardly any enamel on the teeth due to a genetic condition. When you do not have enough enamel, your teeth can become super sensitive and break easily. Sometimes doing very basic things can hurt. For example, taking a deep breath of fresh air can cause serious pain or using regular toothpaste with cold water can make your teeth throb.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

How Amelogenesis Imperfecta Affects Your Smile & Life<\/strong><\/h3>

Enamel provides a hard coating to protect the inner part of the tooth and is called the dentin. Without good quality or quantity of enamel, your teeth can easily get worn down or even break. At Ozark Prosthodontics, we understand that people with Amelogenesis Imperfecta (AI) may have a higher risk of developing dental conditions like decay and loss of tooth structure, regardless of how many times they brush their teeth. We understand the complications of having super soft, crumbling teeth. We understand that not only do you want out of physical pain but that you also want out of emotional pain.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

Our doctors have training and experience in working with patients just like you. We can start with just a friendly visit where we get to know each other. We will be super careful not to blow air onto your teeth, use cold or hot water on your teeth, and we will give you reassurance that we can help. We also have the capabilities of using sedation to help make sure that procedures go extremely comfortably. Your treatment plan will be customized just for you. We can help whether you are 5 or 55 years old.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>

What Is Amelogenesis Imperfecta?<\/b><\/h2>

Amelogenesis imperfecta is a congenital disorder that is caused by mutations in the genes that affect enamel formation. The condition does not affect the dentin, pulp, or other parts of the tooth structure. While this may seem like only a slight concern, tooth enamel is an essential component of the tooth.<\/span><\/p>
