Find Answers for Dental Enamel Disorders with FAM83H Gene Testing
If you or your child struggle with weak, discoloured, or easily damaged teeth, you’re not alone. Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 3 affects thousands of South Africans, causing dental enamel defects that can impact everything from eating comfortably to smiling with confidence. At Oracle Genomics, we understand how frustrating and isolating dental health issues can be, which is why we’ve created this comprehensive genetic test to provide the clarity and answers you deserve.
Understanding the FAM83H Gene Test
This specialised genetic test examines the FAM83H gene using advanced Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations that cause Amelogenesis Imperfecta Type 3. This condition affects the formation of dental enamel, leading to teeth that may appear yellow, brown, or grey, and are more prone to damage and sensitivity.
Our test goes beyond simple detection – we provide a complete genetic counselling session to help you understand your family’s genetic pattern and what your results mean for your dental health and future planning.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained dental enamel defects since childhood
- Teeth that appear yellow, brown, or discoloured despite good oral hygiene
- Increased tooth sensitivity to hot, cold, or sweet foods
- Family history of similar dental issues across generations
- Frequent dental problems despite regular care
- Concerns about passing dental conditions to your children
Many South Africans with these symptoms have spent years wondering why their teeth look and feel different. This test provides the genetic answers that can guide effective dental care and treatment.
