Dr. Theodore Davantzis answered

Specializes in Dentistry

Enamel Defect: It may indicate a difference in the calcification of the enamel in that area. Could have happened if you traumatized your primary teeth when you were a toddler. If the primary teeth were intruded due to trauma, the root tips may have damaged the newly formed enamel.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
