Problems associated with MIH affected teeth
Molar Incisor Hypomineralisation leads to less mineralized outer layer of teeth i.e. Enamel. This causes several problems

- Enamel fracture leaving the dentin open to oral environment
- Tooth sensitivity
- Loss of affected molars
- Bad appearance of front teeth
- Problems in numbing the tooth due to long standing inflammation
- Other problems
- Behavioral problems with young kids due to multiple visits to dental office
- Financial concern for families
Early diagnosis and treatment can help save MIH affected teeth.
