What could be the cause of red spots on the teeth?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have red spots on my teeth, and I have not taken any medications or visited a dentist before. Initially, these spots were white, but now they are turning into red spots. How can I send you photos of my teeth for evaluation? What should I do about this issue?

Please help.

Thank you.

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understood your concern.

So, this is your first time interacting with a dentist, right? Please do not worry, there is nothing to be apprehensive about. As a maxillofacial surgeon, I will address your concerns. Red or white spots on your teeth can be indicative of a tooth infection or intrinsic tooth stains. Unfortunately, I cannot view the image you enclosed as it is showing me an error message.

I hope this has helped you.
