Amoxicillin?: Some studies have shown that amox creates white spots in developing teeth. Amoxicillin does not damage your tooth enamel. Whitening can be used to lighten your teeth and cause the white spots to appear to fade.

White spots: White spots are due to an interruption in the development of the enamal. This often takes place as a child before the teeth erupt. You cannot brush them away, but your dentist can remove them. Talk to your your dentist for treatment suggestions.

Hypocalcification: Likely hypocalcification. There are treatments available to remove or reduce the appearance of these. But, you must be sure that the underlying tooth is not noticeably darker, or you might be trading white for dark. See your Dentist for evaluation and options. Good Luck.

Quite common: Dentists refer to this hypoplasia. Your best bet is to see your dentist as soon as you can to rule out any abnormality.
