Question 1

Accepted Answer

See a dentist: Decay is a slow process and may be painful,  need to have an xray taken and see what it is.

Question 2

how to treat little white spot lesions on my teeth ?

Accepted Answer

White spots on teeth: See your dentist who can go over treatment options. Cause, size, depth and desired aesthetic result will determine most appropriate treatment.

Question 3

what to do if i have a white spot on each of my front teeth why?

Accepted Answer

White spots: White spots may be caused by an enamel defect or due to decalcification around braces. Depending on the severity and location, your dentist may suggest the appropriate solution for your situation.

Question 4

i don't eat any sweets still there is a small black spot on my teeth what is it even i have no pain?

Accepted Answer

Stain or Decay: Even though you may not eat sweets, you still can develop decay in a tooth. Teeth have many small pits and fissures which trap bacteria and cause decay. There is alot of sugar in other things we eat or drink like juice, soda, jam, etc. That can cause decay as well. However it may just be stains from coffee, tea, or red wine as well. The best is to have your dentist check it out to let you know.

Question 5

right above one of my teeth something is sticking out...it looks like a tooth but thats impossible unless i have three teeth in one spot.

Accepted Answer

Extra tooth: It might be an extra tooth. So hard to say without being able to look at it or see a radiograph. I know your local dentist can tell you for sure. Make an appointment.

Question 6

hi i have a brown spot on back of my teeth and i have old slver caps on them i dont know if its because it old but i am worried i hope yall can help me out if you can get back to me that would be awesome thank you?

Accepted Answer

: It might be a stain but you'll need a local dentist to take a look.

Question 7

do teeth whitening and spot products actually work? if so, which ones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they do.: Pretty much all teeth whitening products on the market will whiten your teeth. The over-the-counter systems use a weaker strength whitening chemical than the ones available from your dentist. I recommend you have your teeth professionally whitened by a dentist, as any untoward complications can be handled quickly and safely.

Question 8

how to remove teeth percring cut spot on my upper lips?

Accepted Answer

Details?: I am not quite sure of exactly what your question is. You have a cut on your lips from sharp teeth?  It sounds like you need to see your dentist to see what can be done to resolve the problem.

Question 9

if i get braces while missing a tooth, will the adjacent teeth move into the missing spot?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: Probably not, but this depends on which tooth is missing, how much crowding was originally present, and the position of the surrounding teeth.
Ask your orthodontist about his treatment plan and advice about the space.

Question 10

one of my sons teeth had hard white plaque i think on it cause i has a white spot on the side of his teeth. is it possible to get it back to normal?

Accepted Answer

That depends: That depends on what is actually going on. Hardened plaque is called calculus. This can be easily removed by the dentist and the tooth returned to normal. The beginning of a cavity can also look like a white spot. This is harder to resolve and may require a filling. Your son needs an exam by a pediatric dentist to determine what is going on and how to solve this problem.
