Say Goodbye to White or Brown Spots on Your Teeth – Painlessly
Do you, your child, or someone you know have white or brown spots on their teeth that just won’t go away? You’re not alone—these spots are a common cosmetic concern that can affect your confidence. The good news? At Schaefer Advanced Dentistry, Dr. Schaefer and Dr. Malone offer a quick, painless, and non-invasive solution that can dramatically improve your smile without drilling or damage to your natural enamel.
What Causes White or Brown Spots on Teeth?
These unsightly spots—often called enamel hypoplasia, decalcification spots, or fluorosis—can be caused by a variety of factors:- Fluorosis: Excess fluoride during early tooth development
- Braces: Plaque buildup around brackets can leave behind white scars after orthodontic treatment
- Fever during tooth development
- Injury to baby teeth: Trauma to baby teeth can affect the enamel of developing permanent teeth
- Genetics: Sometimes it really does run in the family
- Enamel defects: Think of them as a “birthmark” for your teeth
Regardless of the cause, Dr. Schaefer and Dr. Malone offer a modern and gentle approach to dramatically improve the appearance of these teeth—no numbing, no drilling, and no discomfort required.
