What causes declassification of the top teeth which looks like spot?
Patient: My two yr old son has decalcification on his top teeth.  I have been brushing his teeth up to six times a day.  I have noticed a tiny spot on two of his teeth.  The dot is located on the white spot it is the color of his tooth its just located on the spot.  I don't know if its a cavity or if its a sign of remineralization.  How can u tell if you teeth are remineralizing? Doctor: Hello:)Welcome to HCM.Excessive tooth brushing is contraindicated.You will erode the enamel with this.Just brush twice,once in the morning and once before bed.You can make him rinse with a saline mouth wash once a day.White spots can be sign of decayed teeth or fluoride discoloration.See your dentist for a clinical examination. Re-mineralisation in teeth can happen, but it is very minimal.Regards.
