White Dots
According to Dr. Fina Lopez, DMD, "White dots are usually warning signs that the tooth is starting to decay." If they are chalky white, it means the tooth has lost its luster; therefore, some minerals have been lost. All efforts should be focused on bringing back lost minerals to the teeth.
