What are white spots on teeth?

White Spot on Teeth and Enamel Defect Treatment Melbourne CBD

White spots on teeth are very common and can be caused by a range of factors including fluorosis from high fluoride intake when the adult teeth are developing, and decalcification – the loss of minerals from the enamel. This is sometimes the result of fixed brace treatment if there has been a lapse in hygiene in the areas surrounding the brackets. In more rare cases, white spots can also be a result of  incisal hypoplasia caused due to suffering trauma as a baby.

What Causes White Spots On Teeth?

White Spot on Teeth and Enamel Defect Treatment Melbourne CBD

White spots can be caused by many issues such as:

  • Trauma/illness – any trauma or illness experience as a child may lead to white spots on adult teeth.
  • Decalcification of the enamel – this is the loss of minerals from the enamel. This can occur due to due to poor cleaning, allowing the acid in the plaque to sit on the enamel structure long enough that it starts leeching out the calcium from the enamel. Wearing braces can increase decalcification due to the difficulty in brushing under and around the brackets. Dry mouth may also cause areas of decalcification.
  • Fluorosis -Consuming too much fluoride as a child when the permanent teeth are being formed can lead to fluorosis, resulting in discolouration or enamel spots.

Treatment for White Spots on Teeth

Treatment options for white spot lesions can range from bleaching, microabrasion, and veneers depending on the origin and severity

 

Icon Resin Infiltration Technique

White Spot on Teeth and Enamel Defect Treatment Melbourne CBD

For this procedure, we etched the teeth for 2-3 minutes at a time, which opened the microtubules leading down to the white spots. After repeating this several times, we applied the infiltration resin which flowed into the micro-tubules and filled the defects.

Microabrasion

A dentist removes a very thin layer of the enamel to minimize the appearance of the spots. Many patients choose to professionally whiten their teeth after microabrasion to obtain a uniform tooth color.

Dental veneers are ultra-thin protective coverings that attach to the front of the tooth. Typically, dental veneers are only used if the white spots are resistant to other treatment options and in severe cases of white spots and unsightly enamel defect

Dentin bonding or Composite veneer is a great option for people with less severe cases. It’s cost-effective and fast, and you’ll be able to enjoy an improved smile in a single appointment.
