:My puppy has enamel hypoplasia. My vet said to wait to see what happens with these two or three teeth that are affected. I have not taken him to a canine dentist yet, but am curious as to how something like this is treated. Thank you for your time.

Tetracycline or doxycycline taken during the dental development can cause a lack of enamel on the teeth. Did your puppy, or the bitch, get these drugs? If it is in the baby teeth, and your dog hasn't gotten any more of these, the permanent teeth may come in with normal amounts of enamel.
