Where do white spots on teeth come from?

White spots are areas of enamel whose mineralisation differs from the rest of the tooth. Several causes are possible: fluorosis (excess fluoride during childhood), hypomineralisation (MIH), marks after orthodontic treatment (around former braces), or early demineralisation.

Identifying the cause is essential before treating: the right treatment depends on the exact nature of the spot. This is an area of expertise of the practice, in Paris 8.

Should they be treated?

White spots are most often harmless; the concern is primarily aesthetic. When they affect the smile, several solutions exist, from the least to the most interventionist, chosen according to the depth and extent of the spots.

The possible treatments

Resin infiltration — fills the spot from within, without trimming the tooth (see below).
Micro-abrasion — very superficial polishing for shallow spots.
Whitening — can harmonise the overall shade in some cases.
Ceramic veneer — for extensive or resistant spots.

Resin infiltration: without trimming the tooth

Resin infiltration is often the most conservative solution. A fluid resin penetrates the porous area of the spot and restores its translucency, making the spot “disappear” to the eye, in one session and without anaesthesia in most cases.
