Tooth whitening, what is this white mark?😫help anyone

[Gagglegeese]

Last night was the first time I've used the tooth whitening tray from the dentist.

I've just looked at my tooth and there is a white mark on my tooth !?! Wtf is this.

I've brushed my teeth and just scratched at it with a tooth pick but it's not coming off

Just had a thought ... I had braces when I was 13/15.... Could this be left over from that

I'm almost 30 ! Lol

My Dd had that, but it faded really quickly.

By the way you’ve listed in the Relationship topic. You may not get many replies.

It's fine, that's normal. Happened to me when I started whitening my teeth. It's nothing to do with a mark from braces, its just deposits/ or stains in the tooth. Keep on the course of whitening and eventually it will even out.

If the teeth have white spots on them before bleaching, these spots will appear whiter during the first few days. However, the contrast between the spots and the rest of the tooth will be gradually less over the course of the treatment and eventually they will not be noticeable.

You may notice new white spots occurring on the teeth while you are undertaking the bleaching treatment. These spots were already present on the teeth before bleaching. As the teeth become lighter they become more visible. Don’t worry! As the whole tooth itself becomes lighter these spots will fade. You may notice these white spots immediately after a bleaching session.

Some teeth may appear banded with lighter/whiter areas. Again these bandings were originally present on the tooth. When the tooth is dark these bandings were not as obvious. As the tooth becomes lighter, the lighter parts of the tooth will lighten first followed by the darker banded area. After a week or so this will not be noticeable anymore.
