White spots: White spots are caused by irregularities of the enamel rods reflecting light unevenly, or by ares where calcium has been etched out of the tooth surface because of compromised oral hygiene. In either case your Dentist has a variety of restorative solutions available to help you.

See dentist and...: Seeing a dentist 2-3 times a year, brushing and flossing well, not drinking sugared nor acidic drinks, not smoking, keeping healthy gums, using Fluoride if needed, etc... Will keep teeth healthy. Saliva is needed, so conditions that decrease saliva need treatment.

I recommend you: See a dentist to have this evaluated. White spots could be enamel hypocalcification, decalcification or actual cavities. The diagnosis will determine the method of treatment.

No: There is no magic wand or home remedy currently available. If you do want to see exactly what is causing it and what can be done to remove or repair it, see a dentist, which is something you should be doing on a regular basis anyway.
