Hi - just back from the dentist with dd1 (6.5) and dd2 (nearly 5), he tells me that the girls teeth haven't formed properly, there is a small 'crater' in the enamel of one of dd2's back milk teeth, and the same, more disturbingly, in dd1's brand new adult molar.
It isn't decay, he was at pains to point out that it's nothing to do with brushing technique, nothing to do with tooth care, it is just how the teeth have developed and he also said that it also means it is much more likely to happen to their incisors as well.
What is it called, what can be done (can the teeth be sealed? He suggests 'we'll just 'watch them'), and why has this happened to both girls? Bit gutted really.
