Hi, for many years, my teeth has had white
stains on it..My dentist told me it was
from swallowing too much floride..Just
recently ive bought this new whitening
toothpaste (usually I would just buy the
original)..But anyways I used it a few
times and noticed that the stains appeared
more faded..The stains are really white so
I guess the toothpasted whitened the
unstained area of my teeth...But anyways I
was just wondering do any of you know of a
way I could permanently remove the
stains?...Like can I scrape it off? Or
will it ever go away?????

Hi-
what you have is very common.Have you
ever discussed this with your
dentist?There are several options and you
should talk to your dentist to see what
will work best for you.Don't waste your
money on whitening toothpastes-they can be
very abrasive and make your teethmore
suseptible to staining.Whitening will only
make the white spots whiter-they will
never even up.A better choice would be
porcelain veneers.They are more costly,buy
they will cover your teeth and hide the
white spots.Hope this helps!!
