White spot: White spots are usually either malformed tooth or demineralized tooth which is an early stage cavity. They most often come from too much Fluoride or poor oral hygiene. Hopefully changes to diet and work to alkalize mouth and saturate saliva with minerals could stabilize spot. Sometimes they can need fillings.
