Amelogenesis Imperfecta/Familial Enamel Hypoplasia.
Dogs that are affected by AI/FEH are unable to produce normal amounts of tooth enamel to fully cover their teeth. Tooth enamel is the hard, protective outer surface that helps to prevents tooth decay.
Affected dogs will have teeth that are not equally covered in enamel. These dogs may have rough teeth that can be discoloured (usually brown areas or spots). Their teeth may be smaller than other dogs, and may be pointed with large gaps between teeth. Both baby teeth and adult teeth are affected.
