Chalky teeth are a dental disease in children and they are on the rise and are still confusing. When concerned parents seek advice at the dental clinic, Stephanie Muller, a dentist at the University Clinic for Dentures and Preservation in Innsbruck, wants to reassure the parents first. “It is also our duty to get rid of the guilt feelings of the parents.” Brushing your teeth and eating a healthy diet is very important to children’s dental health, but it’s not about chalking teeth.

Incisal molar hypomineralization (MIH), the associated technical term, usually occurs in one or more molars. The incisors may or may not be affected. Enamel formation disorder can also occur in milk teeth.
