What do white stains on teeth mean?

Many people have white stains. In some cases, they can contribute to feeling self-conscious.

If you have white spots on your teeth, there are many possible causes. At our office, Dr. Jensen can help determine what’s causing this situation and recommend a customized treatment plan for your smile.

Do I need to worry about white stains?

White stains on teeth are usually a cosmetic problem, but they can also be an early sign of tooth decay.

Tooth decay begins when the bacteria in your mouth form plaque — a sticky film that adheres to your teeth and hardens into tartar over time. The acid produced by these bacteria eats away the surface of your teeth (known as enamel), which leads to demineralization. This process weakens the enamel, causes white or brown stains and eventually decay.

You can prevent tooth decay by brushing and flossing daily and keeping up with your routine cleanings and exams. Cleanings allow you to remove built-up plaque and tartar, preventing them from damaging your teeth.

What is Enamel Hypoplasia?

Enamel hypoplasia occurs when the enamel does not form properly in certain areas of the tooth. This often causes white stains and makes your teeth more prone to sensitivity, cracks, chips, fractures, and decay.

Enamel hypoplasia can start before you are born, during the early formation of enamel. But it can also occur due to other factors, like trauma and exposure to some medications.

Teeth whitening can help treat white spots

To improve the way your teeth look, Dr. Jensen might recommend whitening treatment. Teeth whitening options in Chugach Dental include:

 

  • Boost Whitening: Performed at our office, this is a safe and effective way to treat white stains. It uses peroxide gel to lighten the color of your teeth.
  • Custom Whitening Trays: These custom-made trays are designed to fit comfortably over your teeth. Our whitening trays are significantly more effective than over-the-counter bleaching products because they are designed specifically for your mouth.
