white spots on my teeth
17/f
On the bottom half of my two front teeth, I have these white spots or stains. My mom says that I have them because of flouride and swallowing toothpaste when I was younger. They never bothered me because I had braces for 7 years and you couldnt see them. But now they are really noticable and I absolutely hate them.
If I try to whiten my teeth, sometimes they blend in but other times theyll really stick out, so now I just brush my teeth with baking soda before the paste to try to make the rest of the teeth whiter.
So my question is, is there anything I can do to fix thix or make them less noticable myself? Im a teen mom with two working parents, so I hate taking the time to go to dentists/doctors unless its urgent. If the only way is to go.to the dentists, what should I ask them to do?
Thanks :)

These white spots are primarily caused by.......Braces!! Trust me when I say I know how you feel. I had this problem and these spots are not just spots to tell you the truth. When you have braces..there are certain places that is covered so when the braces come off...that spot is vulnerable. Due to this...you are prone to getting cavities and such. What i did was baking soda treatment. Baking soda is very cheap at like 85 cents at kroger or whatever. I made a paste of it with water and i brushed it on my teeth. After that I brushed with toothpaste and now my spots are gone after a couple of days of treatment.
