What Causes Teeth to Become Transparent?

Teeth becoming transparent is caused by enamel defects, dental caries, tooth calcification, and other reasons.

1. Frequently consuming hard foods may cause friction to the enamel. After the enamel is damaged, changes in tooth color or shape may occur. If tooth exposure treatment is not performed promptly after teeth cleaning, enamel damage will occur, accompanied by rough tooth surfaces. Over time, damage and tooth transparency will appear.

2. Eating sugary foods or inadequate tooth cleaning may lead to damage to the enamel and dentin, resulting in large defects in the middle of the teeth. After changes in tooth shape, the tooth color may also become lighter, or the teeth may appear transparent.

3. Abusing antibiotics or lacking calcium may lead to tooth calcification, along with changes in tooth color and shape, affecting the lifespan of teeth. It is necessary to promptly visit the hospital's stomatology department for examination to determine the cause. Treatment can be done under the guidance of a doctor through methods such as veneers or tooth restoration. Meanwhile, it is also necessary to improve the diet to supplement trace elements.
