Please Help, (Dental Confusion)?
ok for the longest time now i have this white stuff on my teeth. people say its plaque but plaque come off right? i have a feeling its tartar, however it seems tartar is brown/yellow, and that its above the gumline. mine is on like 4 of my top teeth and it covers a large part of my tooth. i just dont understand why i cant remove it, i go to the dentist and i was thinking they could remove it but they dont say a word about it, its upsetting because i got braces off last september and its still here. also by the inside of my tooth i see very little tooth decay.
i dont want you guys to get the picture that my teeth are bad, there straight but i have this white paste substance on them.
any help is very appreciative
thanks!
yeah its not enamel, i see the white stuff clearly,

And you did not ask the dentist about it? It may be enamel.
