White patches on my teeth
I've enclosed the picture of my teeth. I observed these patches only a couple of days back. A friend of mine suggested this to be flurosis. My water purifier was not working for a good time and I got it replaced around 3 weeks back. Do let me know what this is. And also is there any remedy I can do at home??

Looks like stains. If you've been taking any iron pills recently, few nonallopathic medications or too much coffee can also stain your teeth. They can be removed by professional cleaning by a dentist.
Do not try any home remedies like baking soda which may abrade your teeth you may try brushing with normal white colgate toothpaste.. The best remedy would be seeing a dentist

Hello.
This does not look like fluorosis.
These are stains over your teeth which need to be removed by a professional.

Please visit a dentist and get scaling (cleaning) and polishing done.

No chalky whitish Patch could be appropriated from this snap.
However the external stains can be removed by means of scaling.
