Super White marks on teeth

    Just posting here to see if anyone has any info on a solution for me. I have 2 white marks on my fronth teeth. they have always been there, the majority of the time they cant be seen.

    I dont know how to describe them but there super white compared to normal white tooth colour. A dentist once told me that I must have fallen when I was younger and hit my milk teeth which interfered with the formation of enamel or something. If i have strong coloured drinks/food such as coke, coffee then the marks become more noticable because they stay super white all the time. Anyone else have anything similar? Would teeth whitening be of any benefit to me??

    Sorry if that sounds super complicated.
    Thanks

    My Sister in Law has the same thing and when she went to the dentist recently they told her the only way to get rid of it would be to bleach her teeth.

    Hope this is usefull.

    And did that work ?
    Bleaching your teeth will lighten them, but may not be super white !
    I have bleached my teeth, they are lighter, but not "super white".
    It depends on your age, the younger you are the whiter your teeth will become after bleaching, the older you are the effect is lessened.
    But it should bring your teeth up closer to the shade of the "white spots" you have, and lesson the impact.

    Worth a shot :-)

    hmmm ok, thanks for the replies, I think Ill look into whitening. Id imagine it would work to some degree as the marks are not actually that bad and majority of time go unnoticed. however they do really bother me.

    She hasn't had the procedure yet but she has exactly what the op has described, a bright white spot on her front tooth that apparently may have happened from a fall as a child?? Like a bang on her tooth maybe? But that was what she was told anyway.

    Calcification spots, plain and simple. Excess calcium.:D

    People should live with the little differences in their teeth, it makes one stand out as an individual and not like every Hollywood star with perfect teeth that cost a fortune.
