This relatively common occurrence can be caused and affected by a number of factors. One of the major contributors to the appearance of white spots or mottling on the teeth is high fluoride, resulting in fluorosis. It can also be caused by a loss of minerals in the enamel of the tooth, and some patients may experience it after having fixed braces removed, often due to a lapse in hygiene care. In rarer instances, white spots can occur due to trauma that occurred during infancy, leading to molar incisal hypoplasia. These white spots are often mistaken for staining, and some patients attempt to remove or diminish them through teeth whitening treatments. However, such treatments are generally ineffective, as the white spots will still remain lighter than the rest of the teeth even after teeth whitening. To eliminate white spots and mottling on the teeth, we recommend ICON White Spot Treatment at DRKS.
