White spot on Canine: It is difficult to make a diagnosis without looking at the white spot. Sometimes a radiograph is needed. The simplest solution can be to polish the area or to bleach the rest of that tooth utilizing the new whitening materials that we are currently using.

You can't: Bet a Dentist can. Whether it's decalcification or hypocalcification, your Dentist can make it disappear.

See your dentist: It can be easily eliminated by removal of the white spot (hypocalcification) by your dentist and replaced with a tooth colored composite restorative material in its place. Simple cosmetic procedure, painless and predictable. Take care.
