Icon White Spot Treatment
What are white spots on teeth?
White spots on teeth are common and can be caused due to several reasons including:
Fluorosis
Whilst fluoride is important in fighting against tooth decay, too much of it, especially when adult teeth are forming, can cause decay or discolouration.
Diet
If you eat lots of sugary or acidic foods, it can cause the enamel to wear away which can result in white spots forming on your teeth.
Less enamel
If your tooth has not properly formed, perhaps due to nutritional reasons or weakened immunity, it may have less enamel which can cause white spots to appear.
Poor oral hygiene
If you get a build-up of plaque on your teeth, it can cause white spots on teeth. Dentists and hygienists recommend brushing twice a day for at least two minutes and flossing once a day. It’s important to pay close attention to your oral hygiene if you wear dental braces as white spots commonly occur after braces are removed.
Trauma or illness
How does white spot treatment for teeth work?
Icon white spot treatment for teeth is a gentle and painless way to remove white spots and give you a lovely even smile.
First, the tooth is prepared. A special gel is applied to the tooth which opens the pores.
Icon white resin is then applied to your tooth which penetrates deep into your tooth’s pores.
Finally, a special light is placed over your teeth which cures the resin, and it takes on the appearance of the surrounding healthy enamel. The resin also helps to protect the tooth by blocking out harmful acids which can wear the enamel away and help prevent against decay.
