The Mystery Of Misunderstood Mamelons

If you’re someone who is not happy with your teeth because they have what you may refer to as notches, bumps, ridges, or a serrated appearance, this may be the result of mamelons. Now, if you have not heard this term before, you may really begin to feel frustrated! Do yourself a favor: Take a step back, relax, breathe in a deep breath, and get ready to realize you can make your smile look streamlined with just a single cosmetic treatment.

If You Have Mamelons…

A mamelon is just a tiny hump on your tooth that is left as the result of your body’s natural developmental process. Your teeth do not begin as solid structures. Those with mamelons (on your incisors) have teeth like everyone else, which start off as three separate lobes. When they come together to join into a single tooth, the bumps on top are often left. Sometimes they wear away naturally. Other times, they follow you right into adulthood. Fortunately, cosmetic treatment can see them smoothed away if you so desire.

Are You Miffed By Your Mamelons (Or Not)?

Whether or not you do anything about your mamelons is entirely up to you. Leaving them as they are will not yield any type of result either good or bad. The same is true of buffing them down with a cosmetic treatment we call dental contouring. If you don’t care about their presence, then you may leave them as they are. If you’re unhappy with the way they look, then let us know and we will improve your smile.
