How can you treat white spots on teeth?

They are caused by several factors. Many of our clients believe they have developed white spots due to overbrushing or even through bumping or chipping a tooth. The truth is, there are several reasons why you may develop a white spot or two on your teeth — and some may have been there for your whole life and are only now becoming visible to you. Your white spots can occur because of:

  • Fluorosis: This occurs when there is a very high intake of fluoride while adult teeth are developing. This condition is quite rare today, especially in younger people, as fluoride supplements are now more tightly regulated than in the past.
  • Decalcification: This causes white spots when minerals are lost from the enamel. It can result from irregular brushing and is also common during fixed brace treatments due to lapses in excellent oral hygiene, as cleaning around brace brackets can be difficult.
  • Molar Incisal Hypoplasia (MIH): This is a type of enamel deficiency that usually occurs in children under the age of 10. MIH can make teeth more prone to sensitivity and decay and may also appear as white spots.
  • Historic trauma: Trauma experienced in infancy can cause white spots to form on teeth as they develop inside the gums. These white spots can be thought of as a type of bruise affecting the enamel and structure of the teeth.

I had my top 6 teeth composite bonded by Aidan and he was fab. 8 months later and I’ve had no problems. Highly recommend
Jill “JCal” Callear
Great results! In particular, the Implant procedure, completed by Julian and Stephanie, was professional and reassuring throughout. Dr Aidan and the reception staff are great too!
Wasif Abbas
I have been visiting Smile Rooms for a couple of years for my dental hygienist appointments. I have found the service good and the staff friendly. I recently went there for a regular dental check up with Dr Roma, who was exceptional in the appointment both technically and interpersonally. I will highly recommend her. 😊
Ross R
Fab experience from start to finish with my front tooth implant. Dr Julian and his team were wonderful from the initial consultation through to the final check up a year later. Great team!
Ana
I’ve just finished my Invisalign treatment with Dr Aidan to fix an open bite and it’s been a really great experience overall. Straightforward and easy to manage. You do have to stay on top of brushing and care, but I’d still choose Invisalign over braces any day. Being able to take them out briefly and properly clean all your teeth is such a big plus. I’m really happy with the prompt results and the support throughout. Updating my review for another clinician since I can only post once: Lauren is the best hygienist I've had at Smile Rooms since I became a patient in 2023. Couldn't recommend her enough 🫶 She's amazing with sensitive teeth and always leaves them looking spotless. Special thanks to the nurse Stephanie too!
Rish Mattu

I had such a great experience with the whole team at the dentist! From start to finish, everyone was so welcoming, friendly and professional, which made me feel really comfortable throughout the whole process. I had composite bonding done and I honestly couldn’t be happier with the results. The attention to detail was amazing, and my teeth look so natural and exactly how I wanted them. I’m super happy with the work and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering composite bonding. Thank you so much to the whole team especially Dr Mo Hatabi and Natasha 🤍
Ambi
Had my composite bonding fixed here and also a retainer, lovely service and so happy with my results!

Sadije and Shannon performed a swift and thorough cleanse of my teeth and gums. It was much needed treatment ahead of upcoming my composite bonding procedure and they also gave me a lot of useful general tips to help me keep my teeth clean at all times. Pritesh Patel and his assistant provided me with fantastic composite bonding treatment. Both dentists were very personable and informative throughout the entire procedure, I throughly recommend Jaden
Kirsten Kalabza
I recently had composite bonding completed by Dr Mo, and the experience from start to finish has been exceptional. Despite feeling nervous about altering my smile, Dr Mo provided clear explanations, reassurance, and consistent support throughout the process. I felt fully informed and comfortable at every stage. I would highly recommend his care. Thank you so much Dr Mo and Daniela!

Tia is amazing! I couldn’t recommend her enough. She’s so friendly and helpful at reception, and makes booking appointments for all your dental needs so easy😌😊
Sehrish
I had composite done yesterday and this was with Dr Mo, along with the nurse Shannon who was really supportive. I am very pleased with my treatment. Dr Mo and Shannon were very supportive particularly as I had never had any such treatment before and so I was a little nervous beforehand. Dr Mo explained the entire process during the consultation and I left feeling very satisfied after treatment which only took 20 minutes! I would definitely recommend this service for anyone thinking about their treatment!
lisa stock
I had a hygiene appointment recently with sadije and received amazing results, she was so welcoming and got to know me as a patient before guiding me through the treatment. She talked me through every stage before during and after and gave me so much knowledge and also catered options to improve my dental hygiene which I have taken on board as a result of her knowledge ☺️ so happy with the results and excited for my next appointment with her
Dave Darby
I recently had a consultation at Smile Rooms in CMK regarding cosmetic treatment/composite bonding in relation to improving the appearance of my teeth. I'm not a serial poster, but If the service received is good, then I will acknowledge it. Pritesh, the dental technician who I had my consultation with, took time to explain the best options for me moving forward and the appointment didn't seem rushed. I would also like to give a special mention to Tia on reception for the patience, time and polite service she provided to me. I can highly recommend Smile Rooms based on my above comments.

I am very pleased of the treatment I received. Zaynab the hygienist looked after me very well. The treatment was carried out with the highest precision. I also received plenty of information on how to look after my teeth after the treatment.
Olivia Lads
A huge thank you to Dr. Aidan for being so patient with all my revisions and requests. I know I probably kept him on his toes, but he was incredibly understanding throughout the whole process and never once made me feel like I was asking for too much. I’m genuinely so happy with my teeth and couldn’t be more grateful for all the hard work, care and attention to detail that went into achieving the smile I wanted. Thank you so much, Dr. Aidan, i would highly recommend!
Beau Jeavons-White
Cannot recommend them enough. The team at Smile Rooms MK have been great. Friendly, thoughtful and professional. I have a few shout outs.. Thank you to Tia for being so genuine, kind and welcoming (and also for handling all my last minute requests 😅) Very happy with my Invisalign results thanks to Dr Yousif. Felt very reassured from the beginning. I look forward to my hygienist appointments! Zaynab has been amazing! Super encouraging. It makes me want to keep up the good work. Thanks to Zaynab my teeth and gums are now healthy.
jessica silva
As a Canadian, I am very used to going to the dentist and receiving dental care. In my years of experience being a patient, I have never received such personalised care as I have at Smile rooms. From Melissa, to Greta and Daisy, they are an incredibly caring and lovely team. I cannot recommend the team and doctors enough.
Caroline Hartley
I visited Smile Rooms Milton Keynes yesterday for a hygiene clean for my implants and crowns with Lauren and added the Airflow treatment. Lauren was so gentle, and my teeth look like new again , beautifully clean and polished! I’m really happy with the results. Thank you, Lauren, for giving my smile its sparkle back. Highly recommend!
Ashlei Faye
I have just started my Invisalign journey with Smile Rooms, they have been so amazing so far and so so very accommodating for a nervous dentist goer! Dr Yousef is very very very calm and understanding of my worries and even stops to ask me if I am okay as he can see how nervous I was during my pre Invisalign treatment. They have made the whole thing super easy for me and have accommodated my budget per month also. I couldn’t reccomend enough, great location, beautiful clinic and even better staff!! Also huge shoutout to Maddison for being so patient with me whilst I understood how finance and all that fun stuff works, she is the sweetest and so so so helpful!!

What are white spots on teeth?

White spots on teeth can look unsightly and greatly affect your confidence to smile.

Patients from Milton Keynes, Bletchley, Bedford and throughout Buckinghamshire are now using a revolutionary white spot dental treatment to remove white spots from teeth.

White spots on teeth are caused by a lack of mineral content in the enamel on your teeth. Some possible reasons for white spots on teeth are:
 

  • Fluorosis – consuming too much fluoride during childhood while adult teeth were forming can cause discolouration of the enamel.
  • Trauma or illness during childhood can lead to the development of white spots on adult teeth.
  • Mineral loss can be caused by poor oral hygiene. Inadequate brushing leads to plaque buildup, and the acid in plaque can damage the enamel if left for too long. This is why some people develop white spots on their teeth after wearing fixed braces for a long period.

Are white spots just staining?

Previously, patients with white spots on teeth would attempt to disguise them with veneers or teeth whitening treatment.

Now there is a simple and gentle treatment available that does not require drills or injections that is called Icon Spot Removal.

The process for Icon white spot treatment is as follows:
 

  • First, the tooth is prepared with a special gel and then the tooth is dried
  • The Icon resin is applied to your tooth which penetrates deep into the enamel
  • A special light is the placed over your teeth which fills in the air pockets leaving you with natural looking teeth and no white spots
