A member asked:
Dentist: saw dentist today for 18 xrays, cleaning, exam. all good. later noticed a tiny sliver type area missing front of lateral incisor. concern?

More info needed...: Does this lateral incisor have a bonded restoration (white filling)? If so, then the area in question should be polished out. It will feel smoother and trap less bacteria.
