Can someone help me about my teeth?

Question

i have these white splotches on the top front teeth, they have been there for almost all my life, and sometimes they dont even show up and sometimes they do. im worried about it because i have braces, and when i get them off, will these strange spots get wrose?

p.s. these arnt terribly noticable white spots.

Answer 1

Hi, I see this all the time in the dental office I work in, it's common it's called decalcification. you can look it up on the web.But basically the white spots are from too much calcium being deposited while the tooth is being formed, They cannot be remove unless you want the dentisit to drill them and fill them with composite which is a bit invasive. The dentist I work for usually just refers them to whiten their teeth so the surrounding tooth structure blends in with the white spot. Hope this helps!
