The solution will not be just toothpaste , based on your dental photos. Visit your Dentist again. You may need some cosmetic treatment for the white spots. The  best treatment depends on your diagnosis. Visit a dentist again.

f you notice mild white patches on your teeth after using a particular toothpaste for a while, it's essential to consult your dentist for a proper evaluation and personalized advice. Parodontax toothpaste is known for its focus on gum health and contains ingredients that may help reduce gingivitis and bleeding gums. However, it is not specifically marketed as a remineralizing toothpaste. White patches on the teeth can have various causes, and it's essential to determine the underlying reason for the discoloration. Some potential reasons for white patches on teeth include: Decalcification: If the white patches are chalky or rough to the touch, they may indicate decalcification, which is the loss of minerals from the enamel. This can happen if oral hygiene is not maintained properly, and acidic or sugary foods are consumed frequently. Enamel Hypoplasia: Enamel hypoplasia refers to enamel that is thin, weak, or underdeveloped, leading to white or brown spots on the teeth. Fluorosis: Excessive fluoride intake during tooth development can lead to fluorosis, resulting in white or brown spots on the teeth. Dental Plaque: If the white patches are smooth and sticky, they may be dental plaque, which is a biofilm of bacteria that forms on teeth. Other Factors: Some systemic conditions or medications can also cause changes in tooth enamel appearance. Switching to a remineralizing toothpaste could be beneficial if your dentist determines that the white patches are due to early enamel demineralization. Remineralizing toothpaste contains ingredients like fluoride and calcium phosphate, which can help strengthen the enamel and reverse early signs of decay. However, I recommend discussing your concerns with your dentist before switching toothpaste. They can perform a thorough examination, determine the cause of the white patches, and provide you with personalized recommendations for oral care and toothpaste that suit your specific needs. Additionally, continue to follow good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, to maintain optimal oral health.

These tooth pastes contain flouride, mineral which is beneficial for tooth enamel. It's quite possible that the white patches you're observing may be unrelated to the toothpaste you're using. Your white spots on teeth could be hypomineralised areas and for that OTC toothpastes usually do not have sufficient flouride content. But it is essential to know that generally OTC toothpastes contain only 1000 PPM flouride to deliver to enamel. Moreover, the effectiveness of these toothpastes may vary depending on the individual and the specific condition of teeth. A well qualified dentist can offer the most appropriate guidance for your specific situation.
Next Steps
If you are seeking remineralisation of your white spots, go in for professional Flouride/ anti-caries treatment.
Health Tips
Maintain regular brushing. Remember, it's always best to consult with a dental professional for personalized advice and treatment recommendations.
