These superficial discolorations can largely be removed with professional dental cleanings. However, enamel changes due to fluoride use or certain antibiotics used in childhood can also lead to permanent changes in tooth color.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In true cavities, in addition to discoloration, softening, pitting, or sensitivity of the enamel may also be observed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-71b2a47 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"71b2a47\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">How to Identify Discoloration Caused by Decay?<\/h2>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ee51d4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ee51d4d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-text-editor elementor-clearfix\">\n\t\t\t\t<p class=\"p1\">When cavities begin to form, dull white areas may first appear on the tooth.
