Have they been there since she got her big teeth? Apparently that is likely to be excess fluoride. If they are new possibly not
If the white spots were not there when the tooth erupted, and have formed recently, this is likely the beginning stage of decay. Plaque that sits on the tooth surface will cause demineralization. It will appear as a white lesion, usually near the gum line. If you notice this, a visit to your dentist is recommended. If the white spot is superficial, then a topical application of fluoride can be done to strengthen the lesion. If the white spot has become a cavity, then a filling will be done to prevent it from getting bigger and spreading to other teeth.
