Healthy Teeth
Healthy teeth should be creamy white with no signs of deviation in color, roughness, or other irregularities.
If the clinician cannot determine whether an abnormality in the tooth surface is a defect versus an early cavity, this will not alter management as any child with enamel abnormalities is at high risk for caries and should be referred to a dentist for further evaluation.
