Striped Wisdom Teeth
Wisdom teeth removal is common when these third molars grow in the back of the mouth and cause issues such as crowding or misaligning other teeth.
In this person’s case, their wisdom teeth presented a unique feature upon inspection. Stripes on teeth are not typical and can arise due to various factors, including enamel hypoplasia or enamel fluorosis. Enamel hypoplasia is a developmental condition where enamel formation is disrupted, resulting in surface irregularities or discoloration. Enamel fluorosis, on the other hand, occurs due to excessive fluoride intake during tooth development, leading to the appearance of white or brownish streaks on the teeth.
