What is pitting of a tooth?

Pitting of a tooth refers to the formation of small, shallow depressions or holes in the enamel or dentin surface. This condition can occur due to various factors, including dental caries, enamel hypoplasia, or erosion from acidic substances. Pitted teeth may be more susceptible to decay and may require dental treatment to restore their integrity and appearance. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene can help prevent further damage.
