I have pretty decent teeth. I did my time in braces and they're pretty white and stuff but i have this white spot in the corner of one of my teeth, like almost in between two teeth, from when i had braces. i don't like it! and i'm afraid of getting more. You see all those commercials for mouth washes, listerines, fluoride rinses that claim to strengthen those soft spots on your teeth and restore mineral activity, all that good stuff. I want to know what the best one is for soft spots and preventing plaque! We have some mouth wash that claims to restore minerals and stuff, but im like do i really want to use a mouth wash for this? I'd rather get some kind of anti-plaque rinse i can soak my teeth in. What is the best out there?
I really don't want to buy some over-priced glop from my dentish either ha.

My orthodontist was telling me that it was a plque build up and that it was starting to scar my teeth (the white spots) they're aren't any wayes of getting rid of them only ways of preventing them. You should do a thourough brush,floss,and then mouthwash!
My scarring is happining underneath the hooks in my braces thats the most common place.

There are a lot of products out there for exactly what you've described, and I'm sure any one will work fine. Hope I helped. [ runswithscissors's advice column | Ask runswithscissors A Question ]
