I just had 4 - 15 minute zoom whitening sessions this morning and 2 of my teeth just got a bright white spot on them. Looks worse than before the treatment. My bottom teeth did great but I'm very disappointed with the top. What causes these spots?

Answer: What Causes the Bright White Spots on Teeth Craig, thank you for the great question. Some good news and some not so much.Those white spots on your upper teeth were there BEFORE the whitening, but were not noticeable as much. They are caused by decalcification of the enamel. We see them more often in men, especially after braces. The good news, after a couple of weeks they will subside. If it still bothers you, there are several techniques available, which will minimize or totally eliminate them.

Answer: White Spots on Teeth after Whitening The whitening process dehydrates the teeth making the hypo calcified areas already present on your teeth stand out as visible white spots. This gets better soon as the teeth begin to rehydrate after the procedure but does not completely go away. These spots are usually already present in your teeth and are not caused by the whitening process.
