What Causes White Spots On Teeth?

White spots can develop for several reasons. Common causes include fluorosis, enamel hypoplasia, demineralization, and changes that occur after orthodontic treatment. While these spots are often harmless, they can make teeth appear uneven in color and affect confidence when smiling.

Can White Spots On Teeth Be Removed?

The best treatment depends on the cause and severity of the white spots.
