    Teeth are the main part of your oral cavity. They have special function in digestion. In fact, food and nutrition is dependent on your teeth and oral health. It is crucial to have healthy teeth if you want to maintain your overall health.

    What Are White Spots On Teeth?

    White spots on teeth are an indication of early decay.

    • Fluorosis (too much fluoride in the mouth)
    • Enamel hypoplasia (thinner development of the enamel on the teeth)
    • Demineralization of the enamel on the teeth
    • A low calcium diet, and
    • Poor oral hygiene

    can all cause white spot lesions. The good news is that it is treatable and reversible.

    What Are The Causes Of White Spots On Teeth?

    There are multiple factors that can be responsible for white spots on the teeth. From your diet to oral hygiene, you should keep an eye which thing is doing problem for your teeth.

    Here are some of the important causes of white spots on teeth;

    Fluorosis:

    Fluoride is good for your teeth. It strengthens teeth and keeps them from decaying. But excess of everything is bad. Or you can say when you do not use the fluoridated toothpaste in a proper way. You may face problems like fluorosis. This can occur when children consume an excessive number of fluoridated beverages or swallow fluoride toothpaste.

    Too much fluoride in developing teeth can cause decay and discoloration. Fluorosis also causes pitted enamel, which makes brushing and cleaning teeth more difficult.

    Enamel hypoplasia:

    Enamel is the protective coating of your teeth. If the teeth have less enamel than the normal, it leads to enamel hypoplasia.

    Poor diet, medications like antibiotics, smoking, some health conditions like celiac disease, etc. can lead to enamel hypoplasia. When the body is unable to absorb the nutrients or you consume less nutrients than normal, it leads to loss of enamel. Enamel hypoplasia appears like white spots on your teeth.

    Poor Nutrition:

    If you have poor diet with lack of nutrients like minerals and vitamins, you may face white spots on your teeth.

    Similarly, eating too much acidic foods can also damage the enamel of your teeth. Acidic foods and drinks include sodas and certain fruits, such as lemons, oranges, and grapefruit. Over consumption of these foods may cause white spots on teeth.

    Demineralization:

    Demineralization causes white spots of decalcification of the enamel on teeth as a result of bacterial plaque accumulation. This is caused by poor oral hygiene and is seen in brace wearers. The white spots are early cavities that, if treated promptly, can be reversed.

    Poor oral hygiene may lead to dental cavities, as the white spots are the earliest signs of tooth decay.

    How To Treat White Spots On Teeth?

    To treat your white spots on teeth, you should seek advice from your dentist. Many treatment options are available that can easily help you to get rid of white spots from teeth.

    Bleaching:

    Bleaching is a tooth whitening procedure in which the white color of the teeth is bleached to become lighter. So that it can match the white spots in shade.

    It helps in balancing the colors of the teeth. But it is not effective in treating the white spots due to fluorosis.

    Veneers:

    Your doctor may recommend concealing the white spots with a porcelain veneer, depending on the severity of the white spots. This entails the creation of a custom porcelain that is permanently bonded to the surface of your teeth.

    Microabrasion:

    Using mild abrasion, the procedure removes a layer of enamel from the surface of the tooth. This can help to remove white spots and improve the overall appearance of the teeth.
