Q: White Marks On Front Teeth
asked by: woohoo on January 6th, 2006

Hi, I have an enquiry, mostly every morning when I wake up and look in a mirror, I see bright white marks on my front two teeth. They do dissapear after 3-4 hours but then again next morning they re-appear. I always think for some reason that its cos I sleep with my mouth open and breathe in from my mouth. Could you please tell me why these marks appear and how I could prevent the white marks from appearing every morning.
Thanks in anticipation:)

White Spots
The white spots that you notice are most likely from the teeth becoming dehydrated. When you breath through your mouth and the teeth dry out, they turn a pasty white color. Once your saliva rehydrates them you should notice them return to a normal color. The problem with this happening, is you need to keep your teeth moist because your saliva contains minerals that actually in laymens terms resurfaces the enamel. It would be good to get an appliance that helps you breath through your nose while sleeping.

Re: White Marks On Front Teeth
I am 45 years old. Just today I noticed that I have some white spots on my front two teeth. What could be causing this? I brush my teeth twice a day. I know that I breath thorugh my mouth. And I am taking a strong medication right now calledCephalexin. Could it be this medication? Could my teeth be dehydrated?


thanks for any feed back you can provide.

white marks on front teeth
i'm so glad i read this as i woke up yesterday with the same white stuff on my 2 front teeth now i know it's dehydration as i have been having to breathe with my mouth open day and night as i had an operation on my nose last friday so it totally makes sense. i was so worried as it just appeared over night! will the normal colour definately return as my nose starts to clear in the next week?
