White spot removal

White spots on your teeth are very common, and white spot treatment is, in fact, one of the most popular treatments we offer here at Smile Rooms Wokingham.

While they are perfectly harmless in most cases, due to their visibility and noticeability, white spots can really affect your confidence.

What causes white spots on the teeth?

They are caused by several factors. Many of our clients believe they have developed white spots due to overbrushing or even through bumping or chipping a tooth. The truth is, there are several reasons why you may develop a white spot or two on your teeth — and some may have been there for your whole life and are only now becoming visible to you. Your white spots can occur because of:

  • Fluorosis: This occurs when there is a very high intake of fluoride while adult teeth are developing. This condition is quite rare today, especially in younger people, as fluoride supplements are now more tightly regulated than in the past.
  • Decalcification: This causes white spots when minerals are lost from the enamel. It can result from irregular brushing and is also common during fixed brace treatments due to lapses in excellent oral hygiene, as cleaning around brace brackets can be difficult.
  • Molar Incisal Hypoplasia (MIH): This is a type of enamel deficiency that usually occurs in children under the age of 10. MIH can make teeth more prone to sensitivity and decay and may also appear as white spots.
  • Historic trauma: Trauma experienced in infancy can cause white spots to form on teeth as they develop inside the gums. These white spots can be thought of as a type of bruise affecting the enamel and structure of the teeth.

Are white spots just staining?

White spots are often confused for staining, and many of our clients have come to us for help removing the stains believing that whitening treatments are the solution they need.

In fact, this would have little effect, as the white spots will always stay a lighter colour than the rest of the tooth, no matter how light you take your teeth.

In the past, the only way to treat teeth with white spots was to cover them up with veneers, or try teeth bonding to see if it improved the look of the teeth.

These types of treatments require the removal or destruction of healthy tooth material, or they can cause serious abrasion – and if they are not necessary for the health of the tooth, our expert dentists don’t like to promote them.

We prefer to offer solutions that work best for your dental health, while also achieving your desired outcomes.
