I\u2019ve had white spot lesions on my teeth for several years. I finally decided I wanted to do something about them so at my last dental appointment, my dentist sent me home with tooth mousse and then told me to come back in a couple of months for some whitening. Will the combination of these two things help me finally get rid of these stains for good? — Eric<\/p>\n

Eric,
\nUnfortunately, your dentist is not quite on the mark with this one. Yes, tooth mousse does treat white spots, but it\u2019s only designed to keep them from turning into cavities by remineralizing them. You can check into it, but the company doesn\u2019t make any specific aesthetic claims beyond that.<\/p>\n

But what is even more concerning is that your dentist is recommending tooth whitening<\/a>. The bleaching gel is designed to whitening everything, so if you have white spots, they will end up looking even worse. Find an expert cosmetic dentist in your area and he\/she will be able to help you get rid of the white spots with either microabrasion (an acid-pumice mixture that is applied to the surface of the teeth) or tooth bonding which is covering the areas with composite resin.<\/p>\n
