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.

Are Veneers Good At Hiding White Spots?

Tuesday, July 16th, 2013
Q.

Hi Dr Moore! I just got aceppted to NYU and I want to have a great smile for college. My two top front teeth aren’t very straight, however the rest of my teeth are. (But all if my teeth have white spots) … I know braces would take a long time to straighten my front teeth. Are veeners a good route to go with on my two front teeth and then luminers to fix the discoloration on the rest? I really want to have a great smile before I go to college. I have always taken care of my teeth (brushing, flossing, etc). However, due to my younger brother being diagnosed with cancer my single mother never had the extra money to afford braces and such. So I want to try and get them fixed now, well before I go to college anyway. I’m hoping you can provide me with some advice? Thanks!

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 have had white spots on my teeth since I was little, can I do anything about them?

Thursday, August 18th, 2011
Q.

I have two white spots on my front two teeth. I’ve had them ever since my permanent teeth grew in, so they are not due to wearing braces or anything. I would really like to get rid of these white spots. I’ve tried crest whitestrips at home and they do help to make my teeth whiter and they do help blend them a little but I feel like I need to use the strips continuously but I do not wish to damage my teeth. So, I was wondering if there were any methods of doing so at the dentist which aren’t that costly.I’ve heard of microabrasion.. Is that a good option for me? What would be the cost of doing microabrasion on two teeth? And also, do you think these spots are too deep to be rid of? I do not know why I got these spots in the first place. Advice would be much appreciated.
