Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am 23 years old. I have developed a kind of intrinsic spot on one of my canines. After few years, I noticed the same appearing on the other tooth. Secondly, I can see an accumulation of plaque on the inner side of the lower incisors. I do not have any other medical conditions apart from mild anemia. I have a hemoglobin level of 9 g/dL. Please suggest.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
The first spot appears to be due to vitamin D deficiency or calcium deficiency while the second and third spots are due to extrinsic stains. I suggest you do scaling to remove the stains. However, the first one seems to be incipient caries. So observe it and please send a picture of it to confirm it. The other two are confirmed. If you have depression below the canine, then it is caries and it can cause massive damage later. Kindly treat the condition.
