I've noticed a few months ago white lesions on my teeth, what could cause it? I cannot get rid of it by brushing.
Definitive it's not plague, because not long time ago my teeth were cleaned by dentist.
I just found :
"Enamel hypoplasia in newly forming teeth is very common, as is hyperfluorosis, white spots caused from ingesting too much fluoride. If the spots are new and appeared on fully formed adult teeth, then these causes are unlikely. Another potential cause is plaque formation."
White spots on teeth are ordinarily a loss of mineral content on the surface of the teeth (the enamel).
Dentists refer to this loss as hypocalcification, and they call the white spots that result from this loss hypoplasia.
Besides being a cosmetic concern for many people, this problem can actually result in the deterioration of teeth.
In fact, your dentist may tell you that the first evidence of tooth decay is a white spot lesion... meaning your tooth's enamel will have an opaque color in the spot where the cavity is starting to form."
