I have a white patch on my front two teeth what isit??
Question: SINCE ABOUT 10 I HAD 2 WHITE PATCHES ON MY FRONT TOOTH WHICH SORT OF LOOK LIKE THE CALCIUM DEFICANCY THINGS YOU GET ON YOUR NAILS WHAT DO YOU DO TO GET RID OF IT THANKS
Answers:
I had something like that when I got my braces of.. the orthodontist said it was areas where excess calcium was absorbed (it was areas not covered by the braces). I don't know how to get rid of them, mine just faded over time. I suspect if you whiten your teeth these areas may lighten as well so it won't make much of a difference. But there have been many advances since I got my braces off at 12, 11 years ago, so they probably have procedures that zap it away with a laser or something.
decalcified enamel. I have it too around my front and very back teeth. My dentist said you can't reverse it, but to prevent your teeth from getting any worse/turning into cavities use a fluoride rinse after brushing.
