Hi! I’m currently struggling with white spots on my teeth (specifically from demineralization). In my situation, I believe my enamel is weekend and demineralized. This can be caused by poor teeth hygiene (I.e not brushing your teeth at night), lack of nutrition, and smoking. I’ve noticed a HUGE difference so far, here’s what’s helped: 1. You HAVE to keep your mouth salivated - this is different from simply drinking water (which is important too) because saliva contains important minerals needed for your tooth enamel. 2. Use a PRO ENAMEL toothpaste to strengthen your enamel 3. Order or ask your dentist for MI paste. This is the topical way of physically putting the minerals back onto your teeth. It’s similar to toothpaste except you put it on after you brush your teeth and you don’t rinse it out 4. Try to eat healthier. This is a bit more vague but try to get as many vitamins and minerals as you can while your teeth repairs itself. 5. If you suffer from dry mouth while sleeping, try to get one of those mouth guards for grinding teeth and/or use mouth tape. - the goal is to keep your mouth NATURALLY salivated to increase your enamel’s mineral content. 6. AVOID BLEACHING/WHITENING YOUR TEETH - ever notice how on some before and after teeth whitening photos, the white spots look worse and more pronounced after the treatment? This is because you’ve literally BLEACHED your damaged enamel and now your teeth are dehydrated. Please please please avoid activated charachaol, whitening strips, etc until your enamel is fully healed. ****DISCLAIMER****** - I’m not a doctor or dentist and am not giving any professional medical advice! Please contact your medicinal personnel first. I’ve literally been researching this and experimenting for two years. My dentist wasn’t too sure of what it was and a lot of home remedies didn’t work for me but I have a great routine and results now! Ask me any questions, I’ll try to answer. Don’t give up hope, you got this :) **I would say the most important tip out of all of this is to keep your mouth naturally salivated and to not whiten your teeth**
What do you mean by huge difference? Like did your white spots disappeared without any other treatment from the dentist or did they just stopped getting worse and spreading? I have observed a very light white spot on two of my teeth. One of which also had very light brown lines like stains but just little lines. I only saw them today and freaked out. It'll be helpful if you replied
I have white spots on my front two teeth .....is there any possibilities of getting rid of them .....I don't smile because of the white spots I'm really sad😔😔
Dentists have options for you but they will need to see how far any demineralization goes into the teeth and what direction will be best for your situation. We hope you can find a solution so you can smile confidently again.
They are very common. Often times, the white spots come from areas that plaque bacteria gave off acid. .. around the brackets of braces is an example. Really important to keep those areas strong and plaque free so make sure to have a plan with your dentist to prevent them from turning into decay

Hi! I stumbled upon this video after searching the web and finding lots of sites with vague answers to this problem or websites made to sell you a product, I'm really glad I found this video. I'm impressed that years after this video was posted you keep replying to comments asking for help, such a nice thing to see. As for myself, I've had braces before, and I've felt that the area on the edges of my front teeth are more transparent/whiter, maybe because unproper brushing, however it looked good. Today I tried crest whitening strips (8 levels higher, ones certified by the ADA), and after 30 minutes I ended up with some very noticeable white spots. I didn't know why or how this happened at the time, but for now I think I'll wait 3-7 days to see if my teeth rehydrate, and depending on how well that goes I'll likely go to my dentist so they can tell me how to proceed best. Let me know if there's anything else I should do. Thank you so much for answering to all of the comments, have a nice day :)
Hi and thanks for watching! So many of us have white spot lesions that show up really bright when we whiten our teeth. In most cases, its safe to complete your whitening kit and then allow your teeth to rehydrate and let those spots settle back in to be less obvious. There are some in-office treatments that you may want to ask your dentist about. One of them is ICON resin infiltration or something similar. We wish you all the luck!
I just got my braces off last week and I’m noticing a couple small white spots on my bottom teeth under where my brackets would have been. What can I do to get rid of them?
Ever since i was little ive had white spots on my two front teeth I want to get rid of them but i cant. I brush my teeth morning and night and i dont drink soda/coffee so I dont know why they have been there so long. Some days they are more faint but other days they are really white😩
It can be frustrating because sometimes the spots are down into the enamel and even the second layer of the tooth. It could be compared to a "scar" that doesn't go away no matter how great you take care of them. They can also show up more when your teeth are dehydrated though. We understand why some people decide to have their dentist come up with a plan to fix the teeth with some type of bonding or veneer.
Using whitening products can "dry out"enamel (dehydrate) and cause some of these white spots to show up more..... but usually it's temporary. Brushing well keeps the teeth clean and can actually prevent some of these types of spot from getting more damaged :). As with any product or procedure, consult with your dentist before using whitening products to make sure you don't have active decay.
@@BURSTOralCareTV is this the case if the whitening product (say, ACT whitening) has xylitol to help with saliva production + killing of plaque, but also includes sodium fluoride?
I have white spots in certain areas in my teeth and i have like 3 of them are half broke I don't know why that happend even tho i brush my teeth daily , and I'm almost 18 year old .. "sorry for my English" .
Sometimes those white spots do break down more and the tooth essentially crumbles from the damage. Hopefully you are able to see a dentist to fix the problems and help come up with a plan to prevent more issues.
i discovered these spots after incorporating mouthwash into my routine, i regularly brush and floss daily as well... I was wondering if the stains could be caused from using mouthwash..and should i stop using it all together
Typically white spots wont show up suddenly from using a mouthwash unless it has ingredients that might be dehydrating your teeth a bit. We do recommend letting your dentist take a peek to give you the best custom advice for your teeth
I have braces and I am about to get them off. I noticed some white spots but I brush good and get regular cleanings, but I am worried about the white spots
Definitely ask your dentist about the right products to you to keep those spots strong and decay resistant. Congratulations on getting your braces removed! Such a great feeling
I've just started using white strips on my teeth as well as brushing them twice a day, (Previously only once a day) but i woke up this morning and brushed my teeth and afterwards i noticed the white spots, I haven't used the strips since yesterday so what could it be? (I just visited the dentist and she told me i had great very healthy teeth)
Take a watch of the full video. Some temporary dehydration can happen from whitening that will make demineralized spots show up very bright. Of course, always see your dentist if you have specific areas of concern.
Hello ! I’m 15 and I have white spots on my teeth. I discovered these white spots on my teeth when I had my braces removed about 2 months. According to my dentist, I had developed these because I was not brushing well enough when I had my braces on. I came across a video that suggested that mixing baking soda with toothpaste would help break down the white spots or whiten my teeth. Does this actually work ? Also, are there any home remedies that I can use to slowly get rid of the white spots ?
Hi Maria! Some of the life hacks out there dont really make the spots go away but they do make the tooth around the spots brighter therefore the white spots blend in better. Think of those white spots like a permanent scratch on the tooth where plaque acids etched the enamel. You can keep them from getting more damaged by cleaning your teeth really well, staying away from foods and drinks that contain lots of acids and using products that strengthen the outer layer of the tooth. It will be up to your dental team to help you choose what kind of paste works best for your unique situation. It might even be one that you brush on and avoid rinsing with water so it can soak in.
BURST Oral Care will the white spots be there forever if I don’t go for treatment to remove them ? or will it eventually go away with time ? thank you so much for the quick reply :)
@@mariasophialopez1130 Every case is a little different. They might start to fade in a little bit over time. It depends on the severity (how far into the tooth they go). The dental professional answering you right now is an adult with quite a few of these white spots but since they are on back teeth, she won't get them treated by a dentist ..... but they won't go away on their own.
Rarely can you make them go away on your own. Keep your mouth hydrated by drinking plenty of water and remove as much food and plaque daily by brushing and flossing as recommended by your dental community.
I have two white lines on my teeth but there not as bad. i’m currently using total Colgate toothpaste is that a good brand? Is there any way I can make them go away?
White spots do not usually go away without some type of intervention but often times, they stay just the same for years. They do need to be kept very stable, though so whatever toothpaste you use, make sure to let it work for you. Ask your dental professional which one is the BEST for you. Many dental pros on our team refrain from rinsing with water after brushing to allow the minerals in the paste soak in. Again, it's best to have a dentist see what caused the white lines and if they recommend any special pastes or treatment.
Those white spots will get brighter because that part of your tooth has fewer minerals and when they get dehydrated, the show up more. When you stop whitening and the teeth rehydrate, the spots will fade back.. We do always recommend you go to your personal dentist for concerns because we can't give medical advice here :)
They usually stay brighter than the surrounding healthy enamel for a couple to a few days. That really varies from person to person and will depend on the severity of the decalcification and your salivary slow and habits.
Hopefully those white spots don't get any worse.. might want to have a chat with your dentist and hygienist about the food and drink you enjoy and home care habits along with any special pastes or rinses they recommend for you. White decalcified areas don't always turn into cavities
@@BURSTOralCareTV My appointment is on next month pray for me... 😭😭😭 I'm a person who think a lot and get depressed.... Even today I cried a lot... Pray for me... One of my teeth is having filling , 2 teeth having decay , one teeth having small black dot... I think that is decay .... Soo I'm totally emotionaly broken... Still I'm sad and depressed .. Please pray for me😭😭😭 ...
@@BURSTOralCareTV I'm only 16 .... How can I adjust with all these... When I was small every one blamed at me by saying my teeth is over crowded... After putting braces I thought that I could smile properly without any blames... I didn't even remove my braces by that time itself very sad news reached up to me... How can I afford this... While typing this msg I'm crying 😭... But I'm saying a big thanks to you for your support...
I'm having grey color hairs , when I look my inside my eyes it color is almost white instead red also white patches and decay on tooth ... I'm doubt that does I have any deficiency or not... Please reply
I have been feeling unwell lately. My nose is blocked and I have been breathing though my mouth! Now I woke up with white spots on my teeth! This is not normal for me! Please help me! Coupd it be possible because I slept with my mouth opened ?!!
A dry mouth can definitely leave your teeth dry too. if you are stuffy for more than a few days, ask your doctor for help and do everything to keep yourself hydrated. The white spots should fade back during the day
@@BURSTOralCareTV thank you for your amazing video! Everything is fine now! I used some nose drops and now the white spots are gone. I was worried , as I am already self-conscious and that would have topped it off. Thanks for replying to the comments, as I received my answer by reading one of the user’s comment’s and your reply . I literally opened my nose snd they were gone.
I have never had cavities nor any issues with my teeth so this was out of the ordinary! They never mentioned any of this on the internet, so your video was a life saver! I am subscribing . Keep up the good work
Typically they will fade over a few days as the teeth rehydrate. Definitely ask your dentist or hygienist for any products they recommend to speed up the process.
I started getting them during braces but very minor ones and now that they’re off and all of a sudden few days after switching to this whitening toothpaste I’m getting some more minor ones around my teeth am I brushing too much? Or using the wrong toothpaste? Also thank you for the educational video
Demineralized spots need to be kept clean and hydrated so if they are showing up more when you switch pastes, you may want to ask your dentist if the paste you are using is the right one for you.
Hi dr. Shawn I just want to ask if regularly having toothbrush can white spot disappear cause I have a lot them in my front teeth and I’m scared because we don’t enough money to check a dentist please 😓😭
Brushing well won't make the white spots go away usually but it will keep them from getting worse. Do everything to keep your teeth and gums clean by brushing at least twice a day and clean in between your teeth daily. Also try to limit drinks and foods with sugar and drink lots of water
Those spots can be annoying. Some teeth even come into the mouth with a "defect" of sorts or color difference.... and as long as it is strong enamel, this shouldn't be a problem. However, if it really bugs you, mosts dentist would be willing to offer some type of filling, crown or veneer to make it look better. Keep us posted if you decide to have it fixed.
@@BURSTOralCareTV So what I’m understanding now it’s that my enamel was chipped from me falling from the stairs and it was while my teeth were growing. The tooth as a whole grew fine, but it’s exposed dentin (yellow part) of my teeth that’s showing. Always thought it was a white spot (which I do have but their minor.) Might get it filled in soon.
@@Hippiejess Baby teeth didn’t, when my adult were coming when these problems happened. It was due to poor hygiene as a kid why my teeth are aren’t in the best shape but their not as bad as I perceived them to be.
That's a great question for your dentist. We recommend you take the specific paste in with you so they can go over all of the ingredients with you and see why the spots show up more
I’ve been using optic white Colgate tooth paste to whiten my teeth up a bit and it has..my teeth been pretty yellowish but the toothpaste help..but 3 weeks later (today) I started noticing these white spots on my teeth especially towards the end of the tooth like the pointy part..do you think the toothpaste caused it or?
The only way to have your teeth diagnosed is to see your dental team, but it's common for that specific area of your tooth to get dehydrated. They will help you figure out if it's trauma, decalcifications, a side effect of mouth breathing or something else.
It’s been a while that I have white spots on my front teeth’s is there a way I could remove them maybe by using a special toothpaste? Tbh they are not from Braces, but I believe from sodas and acid drinks.
There are some hydrating products and pastes with extra minerals like calcium and fluoride but anyone with dental questions should also have a visit with their dentist to evaluate any damage... You are right about the soda. Very acidic
@@eheheheheedesscoi5173 Definitely worth a consultation with your dentist then. They might be able to do something like Dr. Shaun mentioned in his video
@@qtip8907 That is honestly something that your dentist will need to determine. Enamel is the hardest substance in our bodies but unlike all other tissues, it doesn't replace itself really ... and there is no solution that will work for everyone. If we could come up with that, we would have the most amazing product on the planet :)
Sir i have also a problem.of white spot in my teeth i cannot smile bcoz when everyone see i lose confidence i have also a gum problem i done scaling on my teeth but after 3 months my teeth become yellow plz doctor give me reply Its my habit to sleep with open mouth i cannot control on my this habit 😭😭
Although we can be here to encourage you, as one can imagine, we can't give specific dental or medical advice so the BEST way to get help is to see your dentist. There are some patients that have products recommended by their hygienist or dentist to help with staining and many find that getting their teeth cleaned every 3 months helps as well.
im only 10, and at the top of my teeth are the white spots but i can easily get them off my teeth my scratching them off. But overtime they come back what does this mean??
White areas that can be scraped off sounds more like plaque or tartar... plaque is a build up of bacteria that shows up as a white or yellowish film. The longer the soft plaque sits on the teeth, the harder it becomes to scrape off and it then turns into tartar.. tartar needs to be removed on a regular basis by a dental hygienist.
@@user-ol7ug3lw8h if brushing removes the white spots, then one would assume yes. If you have demineralized areas and the white spots do not come off with brushing, then the answer is probably no. If you want to know for sure, we recommend you see a dental professional for an exam.
i woke up with two white spots on my front teeth, i’m 13, in all honesty my teeth are yellow so they pop out more, is what is this? like i woke up just now and they’re there, i did sleep with my mouth open with my fan on because of me not feeling well currently
Anytime your nose is stuff or you breath through your mouth, the teeth can get dehydrated. Hopefully those white spots will fade back once you start feeling better.
@@BURSTOralCareTV wait, so sleeping with your mouth open can cause these too? I do that every single night :/ do you think I can get rid of them if I stop that habbit?
Some of them will definitely help the white spots blend in with surrounding tooth structure ... and keep them from breaking down further but it all depends on how demineralized those spots happen to be. You may need something prescription strength that you get from a dentist.
Hello. Im 15 and have white spots on my teeth. I did suffer with bulimia and I noticed my teeth are also becoming translucent at the bottom of my teeth and more sensitive. I saw a video that said to drink green tea to rid of white spots, is that true? Multiple people said it works, but I would like an experts opinion, such as you.
Generally green tea has health benefits but tea is typically acidic so it's important to rinse your mouth with water to bring the pH back to normal faster. Tea is also known for staining teeth darker. The best course of action is to have a dental exam so they can monitor your teeth and find products made specifically for damaged and thin spots like you described. We hope you are happy and healthy otherwise now.
@@aasiftheking1252 Generally speaking veneers are permanent. They are more conservative to the tooth than full crowns, but they are cemented in place. Whitening is a cosmetic process and there are a lot of products out there to do this. For instance, we have some great white strips that you wear for just one week, ten minutes per day. We really can't give you any advice about your teeth since we are not your dental provider so that's why we recommend you getting an exam.
Green tea without sugar is a great drink with a lot of health benefits and a pH that is friendly to the mouth. It has naturally occurring minerals and its pretty well documented too for reducing bacteria that cause cavities. Preventing white spots is key here so we wouldn't want to assume that those demineralized spots will fade away completely with home remedies. Always a good idea to see a dentist to determine the level of damage and if it should be treated or monitored over time.

When you stop whitening and the teeth rehydrate, the spots will fade back.. We do always recommend you go to your personal dentist for concerns because we can't give medical advice here :)
The same happened to me today, from the first use my spots got whiter then before and I noticed even new new spots. What did your dentist advice you?
did you end up still using the strips? update me, i have the same problem
I have it since I was 7. Is it possible to remove it?
didnt u lose the teeth tho? or the new teeth had white spots an old baby teeth didnt?
Mine are a bit yellow and I'm only 10 and it would really help if you told me how to get rid of them thank you!!!
Me to
Same :(
Is it better to get veneers or lumineers ?
Can you please tell me how long they stay for after whitening
They usually stay brighter than the surrounding healthy enamel for a couple to a few days. That really varies from person to person and will depend on the severity of the decalcification and your salivary slow and habits.
I'm having braces and also almost every teeth on my mouth is having white patches... After hearing it can cause cavity... I can't breathe... 😭😭😭
Hopefully those white spots don't get any worse.. might want to have a chat with your dentist and hygienist about the food and drink you enjoy and home care habits along with any special pastes or rinses they recommend for you. White decalcified areas don't always turn into cavities

I'm only 16 .... How can I adjust with all these... When I was small every one blamed at me by saying my teeth is over crowded... After putting braces I thought that I could smile properly without any blames...
I didn't even remove my braces by that time itself very sad news reached up to me... How can I afford this... While typing this msg I'm crying 😭... But I'm saying a big thanks to you for your support...
I'm having grey color hairs , when I look my inside my eyes it color is almost white instead red also white patches and decay on tooth ... I'm doubt that does I have any deficiency or not... Please reply
I have been feeling unwell lately. My nose is blocked and I have been breathing though my mouth! Now I woke up with white spots on my teeth! This is not normal for me! Please help me! Coupd it be possible because I slept with my mouth opened ?!!
A dry mouth can definitely leave your teeth dry too. if you are stuffy for more than a few days, ask your doctor for help and do everything to keep yourself hydrated. The white spots should fade back during the day
@@BURSTOralCareTV thank you for your amazing video! Everything is fine now! I used some nose drops and now the white spots are gone. I was worried , as I am already self-conscious and that would have topped it off. Thanks for replying to the comments, as I received my answer by reading one of the user’s comment’s and your reply . I literally opened my nose snd they were gone.
I have never had cavities nor any issues with my teeth so this was out of the ordinary! They never mentioned any of this on the internet, so your video was a life saver! I am subscribing . Keep up the good work
@@jacqui6954 Oh how wonderful to hear. Thanks for the update! Most of our staff are dental professionals (hygienist here) and we love helping others!
I used whitening strips and now my whote spots are more enhanced. How long will it take them to get back to normal and not appear so bright?
Typically they will fade over a few days as the teeth rehydrate. Definitely ask your dentist or hygienist for any products they recommend to speed up the process.
I started getting them during braces but very minor ones and now that they’re off and all of a sudden few days after switching to this whitening toothpaste I’m getting some more minor ones around my teeth am I brushing too much? Or using the wrong toothpaste? Also thank you for the educational video
Demineralized spots need to be kept clean and hydrated so if they are showing up more when you switch pastes, you may want to ask your dentist if the paste you are using is the right one for you.
Hi dr. Shawn I just want to ask if regularly having toothbrush can white spot disappear cause I have a lot them in my front teeth and I’m scared because we don’t enough money to check a dentist please 😓😭
Brushing well won't make the white spots go away usually but it will keep them from getting worse. Do everything to keep your teeth and gums clean by brushing at least twice a day and clean in between your teeth daily. Also try to limit drinks and foods with sugar and drink lots of water
I literally have a big white dot on my bottom big left tooth. Is it possible to remove a white spot on my teeth for good. Had it since I was 7.
Those spots can be annoying. Some teeth even come into the mouth with a "defect" of sorts or color difference.... and as long as it is strong enamel, this shouldn't be a problem. However, if it really bugs you, mosts dentist would be willing to offer some type of filling, crown or veneer to make it look better. Keep us posted if you decide to have it fixed.
didnt u lose the teeth tho? or the new teeth had white spots an old baby teeth didnt?
@@BURSTOralCareTV So what I’m understanding now it’s that my enamel was chipped from me falling from the stairs and it was while my teeth were growing. The tooth as a whole grew fine, but it’s exposed dentin (yellow part) of my teeth that’s showing. Always thought it was a white spot (which I do have but their minor.) Might get it filled in soon.
@@Hippiejess Baby teeth didn’t, when my adult were coming when these problems happened. It was due to poor hygiene as a kid why my teeth are aren’t in the best shape but their not as bad as I perceived them to be.
my dentist said its normal! 😭 it's true?
They are very common but the key is to find out what causes the white spots and if they are getting worse
Hi. How come when i use fluoride toothpaste the white spots become more visible?
That's a great question for your dentist. We recommend you take the specific paste in with you so they can go over all of the ingredients with you and see why the spots show up more
I am having white spots around my gum lines on enamel
Does it really means they are going to turn into cavity
not necessarily. They could stay exactly the same if kept clean and strong.
I’ve been using optic white Colgate tooth paste to whiten my teeth up a bit and it has..my teeth been pretty yellowish but the toothpaste help..but 3 weeks later (today) I started noticing these white spots on my teeth especially towards the end of the tooth like the pointy part..do you think the toothpaste caused it or?
The only way to have your teeth diagnosed is to see your dental team, but it's common for that specific area of your tooth to get dehydrated. They will help you figure out if it's trauma, decalcifications, a side effect of mouth breathing or something else.
It’s been a while that I have white spots on my front teeth’s is there a way I could remove them maybe by using a special toothpaste? Tbh they are not from Braces, but I believe from sodas and acid drinks.
There are some hydrating products and pastes with extra minerals like calcium and fluoride but anyone with dental questions should also have a visit with their dentist to evaluate any damage... You are right about the soda. Very acidic
@@BURSTOralCareTV yeah the problem is that the toothpaste with an high concentrate of fluoride caused me even more white spots not a long time ago.
@@eheheheheedesscoi5173 Definitely worth a consultation with your dentist then. They might be able to do something like Dr. Shaun mentioned in his video
Does mi paste remove the white spots?
I may help them fade back a bit but the main goal is to stop the enamel from getting damaged more. It's a great product full of minerals.
@@BURSTOralCareTV is there anything cost effective that will help remove white spots?
@@qtip8907 That is honestly something that your dentist will need to determine. Enamel is the hardest substance in our bodies but unlike all other tissues, it doesn't replace itself really ... and there is no solution that will work for everyone. If we could come up with that, we would have the most amazing product on the planet :)
I am 13 and i still have these white spots will they vanish
Every case if different but generally they do not simply go away. It's up to your dentist to look at those areas and give some advice.
@@BURSTOralCareTV she (dentist) has told me that these will go away by time, 4-5 years ago, till now spots r still there....
I’m 15 and i have white spots from when I had braces and I just got them off, now my feet look so bad and I’m scared they’re gonna be permanent
There is a resin infiltration technique but that would be up to your dentist. It all depends on how much the teeth are demineralized.
Sir i have also a problem.of white spot in my teeth i cannot smile bcoz when everyone see i lose confidence i have also a gum problem i done scaling on my teeth but after 3 months my teeth become yellow plz doctor give me reply
Its my habit to sleep with open mouth i cannot control on my this habit 😭😭
Although we can be here to encourage you, as one can imagine, we can't give specific dental or medical advice so the BEST way to get help is to see your dentist.
There are some patients that have products recommended by their hygienist or dentist to help with staining and many find that getting their teeth cleaned every 3 months helps as well.
im only 10, and at the top of my teeth are the white spots but i can easily get them off my teeth my scratching them off. But overtime they come back what does this mean??
White areas that can be scraped off sounds more like plaque or tartar... plaque is a build up of bacteria that shows up as a white or yellowish film. The longer the soft plaque sits on the teeth, the harder it becomes to scrape off and it then turns into tartar.. tartar needs to be removed on a regular basis by a dental hygienist.
@@BURSTOralCareTV will brushing my teeth 2 times a day fix this problem ?
@@user-ol7ug3lw8h if brushing removes the white spots, then one would assume yes. If you have demineralized areas and the white spots do not come off with brushing, then the answer is probably no. If you want to know for sure, we recommend you see a dental professional for an exam.
i woke up with two white spots on my front teeth, i’m 13, in all honesty my teeth are yellow so they pop out more, is what is this? like i woke up just now and they’re there, i did sleep with my mouth open with my fan on because of me not feeling well currently
Anytime your nose is stuff or you breath through your mouth, the teeth can get dehydrated. Hopefully those white spots will fade back once you start feeling better.
@@BURSTOralCareTV wait, so sleeping with your mouth open can cause these too? I do that every single night :/ do you think I can get rid of them if I stop that habbit?
Can remineralizing toothpaste helpsbthese white spots ? It it possible plz anwser cuz i have this n it really pisses me off😭
Some of them will definitely help the white spots blend in with surrounding tooth structure ... and keep them from breaking down further but it all depends on how demineralized those spots happen to be. You may need something prescription strength that you get from a dentist.
Hello. Im 15 and have white spots on my teeth. I did suffer with bulimia and I noticed my teeth are also becoming translucent at the bottom of my teeth and more sensitive. I saw a video that said to drink green tea to rid of white spots, is that true? Multiple people said it works, but I would like an experts opinion, such as you.
Generally green tea has health benefits but tea is typically acidic so it's important to rinse your mouth with water to bring the pH back to normal faster. Tea is also known for staining teeth darker. The best course of action is to have a dental exam so they can monitor your teeth and find products made specifically for damaged and thin spots like you described. We hope you are happy and healthy otherwise now.
@@BURSTOralCareTV thank you so much!
does breathing with your mouth cause this?
Breathing through your mouth does cause your teeth to get dehydrated so any damaged areas will definitely show up more.
@@BURSTOralCareTV thank you!
Should i directly go for veneers?
That's really something that you and your dental team will need to decide. Have you been there for a consultation?
@@BURSTOralCareTV No.Is there any whitening system by which i can naturally fix my teeth?And wearing veneers is permanent?
@@aasiftheking1252 Generally speaking veneers are permanent. They are more conservative to the tooth than full crowns, but they are cemented in place. Whitening is a cosmetic process and there are a lot of products out there to do this. For instance, we have some great white strips that you wear for just one week, ten minutes per day. We really can't give you any advice about your teeth since we are not your dental provider so that's why we recommend you getting an exam.
@@BURSTOralCareTV where I can find those white strips that can help my teeth?
@@eheheheheedesscoi5173 We have whitening strips on our website. www.burstoralcare.com/product/whitening-strips
hi i just used the crest 3d white strips and after i was done i seen some white spots on certain teeth. what might this mean? i’m scared lol
This just happened to me just now!! It’s way too noticeable on me💀any updates?
@@shyy4367 what ended up happening?
update bro
Does green tea help with this?
Green tea without sugar is a great drink with a lot of health benefits and a pH that is friendly to the mouth. It has naturally occurring minerals and its pretty well documented too for reducing bacteria that cause cavities. Preventing white spots is key here so we wouldn't want to assume that those demineralized spots will fade away completely with home remedies. Always a good idea to see a dentist to determine the level of damage and if it should be treated or monitored over time.
I’m so insecure about my white spots 😪 I hate to smile I have it since I was 7
didnt u lose the teeth tho? or the new teeth had white spots an old baby teeth didnt?
