In dentistry, the Mamelon is a round bump on the edge of a tooth. Which is made of tooth enamel. Mammals appear in some newly grown teeth (teeth that have just protruded from the gums). There are three protrusions on each tooth. Mammoths create a complex, wavy edge. Mamelon may develop in the permanent teeth of children. However, it is also possible for adults to develop it.
Mamelon in children’s teeth
In this figure, mamelons are seen in the lower two central parts and the anterior teeth on the right. They are more common in children.
On what teeth do they appear?
They appear only on newly erupted incisor teeth. They are usually found in permanent (adult) front teeth, but can also be found in primary (child) front teeth.
Humans, you have a total of eight canines. The four front teeth are located at the top of the mouth and the four teeth are located at the bottom. Humans use their front teeth to cut food. For example, when you bite a sandwich, you use these teeth. Because the front teeth are located in the front and center of your mouth, they show more of your smile and are visible when you speak.
Why do mamelons appear on the front teeth?
Mamelons are thought to exist to help break and chew. However, it is generally agreed that they have no clinical significance.
If you are interested in removing mamelon from your teeth, talk to a dentist. They can remove them by trimming the edges of your teeth.
Treating and removing them is a kind of cosmetic dentistry and the process is as follows:
Tooth deformation
Tooth scratching
Tooth restoration
Contouring and dental veneer
This can be done in a dental office. The dentist uses a file, disc, or drill to remove the enamel and straighten the teeth. Treatment and removal of dental mamelons is painless and does not require local anesthesia. This is because dental mammals are made of tooth enamel and have no nerves. In addition, this method is very fast and you can go home the same day and there is no recovery time after the mammoth removal operation.
It is also usually one of the cheapest treatments in cosmetic dentistry, but you may have to pay out of pocket. Because this is a beauty treatment, your insurance company may not cover the cost. So it’s best to talk to your insurer first about paying for mammoth removal treatment.
Why should you remove mamelons?
mamelons are not harmful. They also do not interfere with oral health or chewing habits. However, you may want to remove them for aesthetic reasons. If you have a mamelon and you do not like to have it and you think it has disturbed your beauty, talk to your dentist about removing them. Also make sure your mammoths do not grow after removal and remove them permanently.
So, mamelons are round bumps on the edges of teeth. They appear only on the front teeth, which are the four front teeth in each jaw. These protrusions have no specific purpose or function. In addition, first seen during the eruption of primary or permanent teeth, mammoths show the most attention. They usually go away with chewing over time. If your teeth are not properly aligned, you may still have mammoths. Talk to your dentist if you want to remove them. They can reshape the edges of your teeth and remove bumps. Tooth bonding, veneering and contouring are some of the methods used to remove tooth protrusions and unfavorable tooth appearance.
