White spots on the teeth can be an aesthetic problem, but also a warning of a weak enamel structure. They most often appear in the teenage years as a result of insufficient oral hygiene or improper diet. This phenomenon can be frustrating, especially when it occurs on the incisors and molars, where it is most visible.
Why do white spots appear on the teeth?
White spots occur when tooth enamel demineralizes, resulting in a weaker tooth microstructure. In appearance, these areas stand out as chalky white, rough areas on the surface of the teeth. Without proper treatment, the white spots become vulnerable sites for tooth decay, making the tooth more susceptible to damage.
The most common factors that contribute to the appearance of white spots include:
- Insufficient oral hygiene – deposits of bacteria and plaque that remain on the surface of the teeth.
- Improper diet - lack of calcium and phosphorus, and excessive consumption of acid and sugar.
- Orthodontic apparatus - white spots often appear in patients after removal of fixed appliances, due to the difficulty of maintaining hygiene around the braces.
How are white spots treated at the Bandić Clinic?
Polyclinic Bandić offers a safe and effective solution for removing white spots with the help of modern techniques that are completely non-aggressive and painless. The process is carried out without removing healthy dental tissue, which means that there is no tooth grinding, and no need for anesthesia.
The treatment process includes:
- Teeth cleaning and sandblasting - The surface of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sandblasted to remove deposits and enable better absorption of the preparation. The gums are isolated to prevent irritation.
- Applying preparations to open enamel pores – A special preparation is applied only to the white spots for a few seconds. This step allows the "pores" of the white spots to open, preparing them for the next stage.
- Infiltration of white spots – After opening the pores, a special preparation is applied that infiltrates the porous areas of the stain. The structure of the stain is filled and changed, making it visually fit into the rest of the tooth.
Treatment duration and results
The entire procedure is fast, simple and takes about 15 minutes per tooth. The results are visible immediately after the treatment, with an improvement in the color and structure of the enamel. This treatment is especially recommended for cariogenic white dot lesions, which often appear after removal of fixed orthodontic appliances.
