XLH AND TEETH

PATIENT MATERIALS

This guide outlines how XLH causes poor mineralization of dentin and enamel—leading to spontaneous dental abscesses, enlarged pulp chambers, and increased gum disease—even in seemingly healthy teeth. It offers practical advice to empower patients with targeted oral hygiene practices, professional fluoride treatments, sealants, and regular dental check-ups to minimize these risks.
