Causes of white spots on teeth

Causes of white spots on teeth.
Hypoplasias
When a child drops a milk tooth and the definitive starts to come out in some cases we can see that it has a white spot.
Most of the time it appears because during the formation of the tooth there has not been a correct mineralization, which causes the tooth to have less enamel. The spots are usually white but we can also see them brown.

We call these spots hypoplasias, they form before the eruption of the tooth.

They may be due to malnutrition, infections or fever during the period of tooth formation .

It is very important to maintain a balanced diet during the development of the tooth so that it has the necessary contribution of minerals.

It should also be borne in mind that dental development begins in the embryonic phase of the fetus and it is possible that the cause of bad tooth enamel formation occurs during pregnancy.

There are some mineral products, which fight hypoplasia with Sources Of Calcium , Phosphate and Magnesium . This one in particular is special for kids and is called ROCS .

So it is possible to avoid this type of stains by ensuring with a good diet the adequate contribution of minerals such as Phosphorus , calcium or magnesium , during pregnancy and during the period of development of the teeth in the child, approximately up to 13 years, when it ends The formation of teeth.

Hypoplasia other is caused by F Luorósis . The spots by Fluorósis , are triggered by an excess of consumption of Fluorides , during the formation of the tooth and we can also find them of brown color.
Fluoride is usually used in Toothpastes and Fluoridated Waters especially because it fights and prevents tooth decay, inhibiting Tooth Demineralization , but it is very important to observe the amounts of this mineral used.
The excess of this mineral causes that the tooth itself cannot absorb it, which implies the formation of fluoride deposits in the tooth favoring the appearance of white spots.
