What is this white spot on my tooth?

I got my braces off about…15 years ago, and I still have little white spots on my 2 front teeth. They’re not so noticeable unless you are really looking for them. So if you figure out how to get rid of them, I’d love to know too!

Very often the white mottling can be caused by fluoride treatment at the dentist’s office (when you have the gel encased in those gadgets, bite into them and glue your upper and lower jaws closed for 4 minutes). I have friends w. young children who have the mottling. Last I heard, there wasn’t much to be done. But of course, ask your dentist.

if its after braces the white spots can be caused because your attachment points protected those spots from staining. Try crest whitening strips to fade the area around the white spots.

I had uv whitning done at my dentists office and it made all my teeth an even bright white, they even did a porcelain insert on one tooth and matched it to that.

it could also not be related to the braces, but mineral content, excess flouride, or even a cavity—read this: http://www.dentalfind.com/White_Spots_on_Teeth/

Decalcification. If you whiten/bleach your teeth it will even out.

too much FLOURIDE!

I too have seen young adults with the mottling; their dentists all agree that flouride was the culprit. But they had few or no cavities.
