Does your son or daughter complain of sensitive molars? Does your child eat poorly? Does brushing teeth hurt? Maybe cheese teeth are involved. These are molars whose protective enamel layer is not developed or not well developed. They are partly or completely cheese-coloured (white-cream to yellow-brown) and can also look a bit lumpy. They are more sensitive than other molars because the outer layer is weaker. Cheese teeth occur in both milk teeth and permanent teeth.
