Ask your dentist about two products: 1) flouride varnish{Duraphat}. 2) MI Paste from GC products--helps remineralize the hypocalcified areas. I've had several patients with the same condition and these products help them avoid fillings in many instances. Good Luck!

I have had that problem since I was ten. The dentist told me and my mom it was from to much soda. Some of the sodas are very harsh and can ruin your tooth enamel. I use a prescription tooth paste twice a day and a mouth wash. I also now take calcium and drink milk. I have very little Carmel type stuff and stuff with sugar on the outside. I drink no soda.
In the past 10 years I have a cavity every year which my doctors said is because the enamel is thin.
