What would cause white spots on teeth on a 13 months old baby?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Minerals in the diet: The two main culprits are calcium and fluoride. Too much can cause hyper calcification or fluorosis, which can discolor the enamel.

Fluoride: Too much Fluoride ingestion either from the water or by prescription could cause white spots in the enamel. Another cause could be acidic plaque. If the white sports are closer to the gum they could be decalcified areas of enamel caused by persistent plaque accumulation. If the child is not getting his or her teeth brushed twice daily then that needs to change and use a minute amount of paste.
