Translucency in edges of teeth
Edges of my upper teeth are translucent and I know this is normal. But when it is exposed to sunlight or artificial light it looks like my edges are yellow in colour and it looks weird. Apart from that I don't have any other tooth problems. Does it happen due to the excessive translucency? How can be this rectified ?

Hi..it could be because of enamel hypoplasia or attrition of teeth. A dental check-up is recommended. Thin enamel has high chance of fracture in future.
