There are several possible causes for white spots on your teeth. If the spots have always been there it is likely that something happened when the teeth were developing such as excess fluoride, a high fever or trauma. If the teeth developed the white spots the most likely cause is demineralization of the enamel. This is a fancy way of saying your tooth started the decay (cavity) process. If you use fluoride the decaying can stop, but only the surface of the tooth hardens leaving this white "scar" on the tooth. I often see this in my patients that have worn braces. These white spots can be reversed. The treatment is done partially in the dentist office and partly at home.

The white stuff is plaque and possibly food particles. Be sure to brush, floss, and rinse with mouthwash twice daily to avoid this potentially dangerous build up!

How do you get really white teeth?

Well there are two ways i know of that you can make your teeth white and healthy. One way is to go to your dentist and if he thinks your teeth are too yellow then he will give you this white stuff that you put on your teeth to make them look white. You have to do this once a month. That process was called whitening your teeth. Another way to make your teeth healthy and white is to brush them after every meal of the day so they stay clean throughout the day. Most people just brush their teeth 2 times a day like after breakfast and dinner but if you want your teeth to be really really white then i would pick 3 times a day. HOPE I HELPED!! :p
