Here we present two cases of linear enamel hypoplasia. In the first case, 14 year old girl reported with a white line present on the both upper and lower arches of front and back teeth. Esthetics is main concern for her hence teeth were restored with composite restoration and she was satisfied with treatment. In the second case, 12 year old girl came for routine dental checkup along with her mother who presented with linear enamel hypoplasia on both maxillary and mandibular anterior teeth including all the first premolars. Parent was not willing for the treatment and preventive measures were done.
