white spots on children's teeth? Is this a sign of vitamin deficiency?

Question

If so, then what vitamin? Also is it a reaction to fluoride?

Answer 1

You don't mention which teeth - adult or child. I will guess at new upper front adult teeth.
White spots on the adult teeth are usually due to fluoride. It is a minor side-effect which is more than counterbalanced by the beneficial effects of the fluoride.
These spots developed when the teeth were forming (about first 2 years of life), and have absolutely no relation to current fluoride exposure, and certainly NO relation to vitamin "deficiency" either early in life or now.
Different people have slightly different degrees of blemishes ranging from nothing at all to white spots to brown spots. Unless it is particularly unsightly, no treatment is required or recommended.

Answer 2

I had those white spots when I was growing up and was told by dentists they were "calcuim deposits" and "a calcuim deficiancy from being nursed as a baby." Not true.

They are actually signs of decay and there is no way to stop teeth from decaying all you can do is slow it by brushing, fillings, sealings, and gargling with salt water.

Answer 3

This can be flurodoisis. It is where there is to much fluoride in the diet. If you are unsure check with a dentist.
