White spots on tip of my teeth. What is it and what can be done?

November 11, 2016
Asked By:kobe005 in Boston, MA

My teeth are all uniform in color from the the root of my gums, except for my two canine teeth, since I have white spots at the end/tip of my teeth that don't seem to go away. I want to know what that is and what can be done? Veneers? Caps? I've tried whitening toothpaste, but it doesn't seem to go away.

Sarah Thompson, DMD says:

No type of household glue will properly fix your fractured veneer. It may be possible to patch the area where the veneer fractured, but this would only be temporary. I would recommend having the veneer replaced sooner rather than later. Schedule an appointment for an evaluation as soon as p...
