White lesions, commonly called white spots on teeth, typically indicate tooth decay.
Your teeth may develop small pits or holes when the enamel begins to erode. This causes the cavities to turn white as they fill with bacteria and plaque.
White spots on teeth can occur for other reasons besides tooth decay. A variety of factors can bring them on.
Following are some typical causes:
Fluorosis is a common condition in children caused by excessive fluoride exposure. Although fluoride has many benefits, too much can cause tooth discolouration. Fluoride supplements, toothpaste, and tap water are all potential sources of excess fluoride.
White spots on teeth can be treated by your dentist using a variety of methods, such as:
The Icon teeth treatment employs resin infiltration o restore the tooth’s aesthetics. The procedure is quick, minimally invasive, and produces long-term effects.
The dentist will etch the teeth for 2-3 minutes for this treatment, opening the microtubules that lead down to the white spots.
Next, the dentist will apply the infiltration resin, which flows into the microtubules and fills the defects after multiple repetitions.
Dental veneers are extremely thin protective covers applied to the tooth’s front. Dental veneers are only utilised after other treatment methods have failed and in difficult situations of white patches and unattractive enamel defects.
