There is a white spot on my tooth, should i be worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not to worry...: ... If it has been there for years and a dentist has already seen it and has determined that it is a hypocalcification spot. If you have not been examined by a dentist in the last six months, do so now... The white areas may indicate de-calcification, which would mean a cavity.
