hi Huxlly
Please Don't use baking soda when you have the white spots on your teeth
There are two methods that may useful to get rid of the white spots.
1). Bleach the teeth even more
As you lighten the remaining tooth structure, the contrast fades. The white spot(s) may appear to fade away. Power bleaching increases permeability of enamel (similar to the way it was when the patient was 14 years old), and will then allow the surrounding tooth structure to get REALLY white. You can't get whiter than WHITE. So the surrouding tooth structure tends to almost catch up in color to the spots. End result is that the spots are still there, but they will blend much better.
2). Microabrasion
If the bleaching does not remove the white decalcified spot enough to your expectations, you can use a course diamond and remove the spot mechanically with a strong bevel all the way around the spot. This can be done without any anesthesia. A translucent composite is then placed over it.
