Key Takeaways: 

• A white spot on teeth is often the earliest visible sign of enamel weakening or mineral loss.
• Early enamel demineralization can sometimes be reversed with professional treatment and improved oral hygiene.
• Common causes include poor oral hygiene, plaque buildup, braces, fluorosis, sugary and acidic foods, and dry mouth.
• If ignored, a white spot on teeth can progress into a cavity or become more noticeable over time.
• Preventive care, balanced fluoride use, and regular dental visits reduce the risk of developing new white spots.
