White and Yellow blotches on teeth?

I have some yellow and white blotches on my front teeth, and I don't know what they are or how to get them off.

I don't think it is just like discoloration from not brushing enough, as I brush everyday, and I don't smoke or drink coffee or anything.

At a point I wasn't brushing my teeth very often, but for hte last 5 months or so I have been brushing them every day. Either way though, it seems like standard discoloration would be even everywhere, and would not appear in splotches.

I can take a picture if it will help. I've seen other people have these kinds of things, it seems farily common.

I want to get rid of them, not that they are too big a deal, but you know.

Ps, I realize people are going to make jokes about this. Enjoy.

i have white stuff on the bottom of some of my teeth. i asked my dentist what that stuff was and he said it was just stains from fluoride. so thats probably what your white stains are but the yellow ones puzzle me.

Yeah Im thinking its mainly that fluoride business. But so how do I get rid of that? And also, I think I will try crest white strips, but they seem expensive. And how long do they take?

you do them for 30 min, 2 times a day, for a 7 day period. I used half the box and got results I liked. so I quit using them and saved for next time.

you just got your braces off didn't you dude? when i got mine off i had spots on my teeth where the braces were but they mostly went away. might be a little bit of glue left. also i know the spots where my braces were were whiter cuz there was no plaque or anything getting on them for a couple years. they're all gone now tho.

i dunno if white strips would be a good idea if you have splotches, they might just make them worse because they'd lighten everything, not just the darker spots.

Its probably something with your enamel. My enamel had developed improperly or something and I had the same thing on my front teeth. It was real bad. But a couple months ago I got porcelain venirs on my teeth. It was pretty much the only thing I could do about it.

Doesn't always work, there is some cleaning thing they do that's guaranteed to work. Since they are flouride stains they are deep in the tooth and bleaching only takes plaque off of the surface.
