sounds like they have stains but if they go away and come back i'm certain someone is not brushing properly. ugg gross!

Some people have a calcium deficiency and then again there are certain medications taken when they were children that leave "white marks" in the growth line.

I can be from various reasons, but many are due to taking antibiotics when they were little. My daughter had a friend that had these white spots on her teeth and it was from liquid antibiotics taken as a child.

I think its when they chew on something. I know 2 people who do that and they chew on pens.
