What are Mamelons?
Mamelons are the small bumps on your four front teeth called incisors. They usually appear as a group of three and wear down as you age. Mamelons don't need any special treatment.
Which Teeth Have Mamelons?
Mamelons only appear on your incisors. You have four incisors on the top and four on the bottom for a total of eight teeth. Over 90% of incisors have three mamelons on them when they break through the gum. The mamelons usually wear down with normal chewing. This wearing down starts as soon as a few months after the teeth appear.
What Is the Purpose of Mamelons on Teeth?
Mamelons form on your permanent teeth before you are born. They may help your teeth break through the gums once you reach the right age. The appearance of mamelons can be different from person to person. There are usually three bumps per tooth.
What Happens to Mamelons on Teeth?
You don't usually need to do anything to get rid of mamelons on your teeth. They will generally go away on their own as a result of normal grinding and chewing. But your mamelons may not wear away if your teeth come in late or aren't lined up correctly. Some types of alignment problems that may prevent your mamelons from wearing away include:
Crossbite, when your upper teeth fit inside your lower teeth
Underbite, when your lower jaw extends beyond your upper jaw
Deep bite, when your front teeth cover too much of your bottom teeth when your jaw is closed
Crowding, when there isn't enough room for all of your teeth
Spacing, when there's too much room between your teeth
Protrusion, when your front teeth stick out
Open bite, when your teeth don't overlap
