A member asked:
What do you suggest if my tooth enamel appears clear on the edges?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Perfectly normal: Enamel is somewhat translucent, and since the edges are thin and have no dentin, they appear clear. You also may be grinding your teeth, making the edges thinner, causing the same appearance. See what your dentist has to say about it.
