"So far (ongoing treatment) I have had a very good experience with Far Headingley Dental Care. All staff (reception to dentist) are very polite, nice and great at making you feel at ease. Dr Chris Tan has spent time explaining her thinking and decision making and always given me all the options, prices and her professional opinion in advance so that I could make an informed choice. She was honest about the likelihood of success of the treatment and I felt in good hands throughout my last two sessions. I would highly recommend this dental practice."

What causes white spots on your teeth?
White spots on teeth are actually very common. There are a variety of causes which include:
- Tooth related trauma when the adult teeth are developing in childhood
- Enamel hypoplasia - when the tooth's outer layer doesn’t form correctly, leading to discolored spots
- Fluorosis - caused by too much fluoride during tooth development, resulting in white spots or streaks on teeth
- Decalcification - this happens when minerals are lost from the enamel, often due to braces or poor oral care, leaving behind white patches
The truth behind white spots
Often people with white spots mistake them or their mottled appearance of their teeth for staining and believe that this can be improved by teeth whitening. Unfortunately the white spots simply remain a lighter colour than the rest of the tooth after whitening and in some cases may be more noticeable.
In the past the only way to treat teeth with white lesions, spots or mottling would be to cover them using dental veneers or bonding dental composites. These types of treatments require the removal or destruction of healthy tooth material and are not favoured by modern dentists.
