What are the causes and treatments for white marks on teeth?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Decalcification: This can come from distrubances you had when your teeth were forming, from acidic contact after thehy erupted, or some other chemical contact. \if the areas are really bad, crowns or veneers are a posibilithy. There is a newer technique involving isolating the teeth, cleaning the areas, acid etching the areas, bonding some thin, flowable composite into the areas and polishing the result.
