Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain it seems that white spots on teeth can be due to developmental anomalies like Enamel hypoplasia while can also be due to Fluorosis..

It can also be an initial sign of tooth decay with mineral loss..

Consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in case if it is due to hypoplasia or fluorosis then treatments like bleaching or covering the teeth with veneers and laminates can help..

In case if it is decay then tooth coloured filling or capping can help..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
