Q.

Hi Dr Hughes. I have a couple of questions for you. I recently tried a home whitening kit that has left white spots on my teeth, I really do not wish to continue the treatment, how can I get I’d of these spots? And I’m looking to straighten my teeth, they are not awful but my two front teeth are starting to cross and I don’t want braces, I’ve heard of clear step but roughly how much is it?

I Discovered A Black Spot On My Front Tooth. Will Fluoride Treatment Reverse The Decay?

Tuesday, October 22nd, 2013
Q.

Hello Dr Hughes, my problem is that I have recently discovered a black spot on my front tooth (top 1) that’s annoying me. My dentist recommended to just leave it and wait, but now I’m starting to think that it now looks bigger. I have heard of a fluoride treatment, and I wondered whether this could this help to reverse the decay? What would be the best treatment for my front tooth if I had to use a filling? Is a filling the only option? Many thanks for your advice.

Kind regards.

Is Microabrasion Harmful To Teeth?

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013
Q.

Hi I would just like to know the possible to solutions for white spots on the tooth ? I have heard of microabrasion but the from the reviews I have seen the results do not seem promising. Are veneers necessary ? Or are there other options Available ? I have a white spot on my front tooth and I wanted to know if in the london area it is treatable ? Also is microabrasion harmful to the teeth as I know it involves shaving a layer of enamel? Are teeth a lot more sensitive as a result ? I want to have my teeth whitened but frightened that these white spots will become more apparent if I do this. Can you please advise? thank you, I hope to hear from you soon. Kind regards.

Did treatment on son’s teeth make white spots even worse?

Friday, April 27th, 2012
Q.

My 20 year old son has white spots on both permanent front teeth since a child. I thought it came because of a preventative antibiotic he was given for 15 months as a two year old for ear infections. The dentist just did microabrasion on them one month ago. It faded a little but the white spots are still there. He ask the dentist yesterday if he could use the white crest strips and he said that would be fine. He started last evening and today the white spots are so white. Because of the microabrasion did this make the white spots worse because the enamel isn’t there as much and is more open and the whitening from the strips filled in. Thanks, mother is concerned.

My 16 year old daughter has white marks on her teeth, what treatment can she have to remove them?

Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012
Q.

My daughter just turned 16 and has what appears to be “white stains on her teeth. I thought it was from her braces but the orthodontist said it was probably from the iron she had to take when she was an infant.
She was anemic when she was a baby; at 2 months of age we put the iron drops down the side of her check once a day for 6 months. We did this until she stopped breastfeeding and got the iron from her formula.
Either way, now that she has straight teeth, she wishes they were a nicer color.

What are her options?

I had microabraision on my two front teeth about a year ago, but it didn’t work. I would appreciate you opinion on whether I should try again?

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010
Q.
I have previously (about a year ago) had microabraision on my two front teeth which have fluorosis (white stains). It reduced the appearance of one tooth but not the other. The dentist stopped the process as my teeth were getting too sensitive. I wanted to ask whether its worth trying again. I have spoken to a couple of dentists and both have given conflicting advice – one says it may work again and the other said if it didnt work on one tooth it means the stain is too deep in the enamel. The white stain looks brighter some days especially after i have brushed my teeth. I would appreciate your honest opinion,
