Is tarter on the teeth white i have white spots on my teeth and i'm worried that they might be cavities ?

Beginning to be?: White spots on teeth are more likely to be decalcifications or hypocalcifications than tartar (calculus).These areas represent altered or weakened enamel and may turn into cavities. We can't diagnose over the internet. See a dentist who can actually examine your teeth to evaluate what you see and determine if there is something that can or needs to be done.

Have a closer look: It's likely these are developmental spots (like freckles), demineralized tooth (soft spots); it could also be calculus (tartar). If you don't know for sure, it's time to go see your dentist. It could be nothing and you'll find out and feel better about things or it could be something that needs to be addressed and you'll wish you had found out sooner. Good luck ;-).

Tarter: Tarter can be white or darker colors . You must check with your dentist to evaluate the nature of these white spots.

Its possible.: Bacteria hidden under plaque/ build up destroys enamel. That looks like white dots or lines. Have a dentist check it out for you.

No: White spots are hypercalcified spots as a result of high intake of floride as a child.

Possibilities: White spots on the teeth (within the enamel) can have a few possible causes. - if you received too much Fluoride (between supplements, toothpaste, and in office treatments) - also might have some brown spots. -if you had a fever or childhood illness when the teeth were forming -early tooth decay can also show up as white spotting have your dentist check it out. Tartar (calculus) is removable.
