Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am a 18-year-old male. I tried a whitening pen for my teeth. After using it, I noticed white spots forming all over my teeth I have always had white spots on and off throughout my life, but after using this, I had a bunch of them appearing within five minutes. Is this an allergic reaction? How do you recommend I get rid of them? Should I consult my dentist? Should I continue using my whitening pen? I am currently on Guanfacine.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
As per your symptoms, the white spots on the teeth are due to hypocalcified areas of poor mineralization. Bleaching makes them more pronounced, and they can further stand out on the teeth. It is not an allergic reaction, but this has happened due to a more clear appearance of hypocalcified areas. The spots will become less pronounced as the days pass, and teeth will continue to hydrate. I suggest not to use your whitening pen further, and for any cosmetic dental treatment, it will be better to consult a cosmetic dentist.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
