Thanks!
I'm scared to have my dentist do it. :(
His office is really very small (two hygienists, and one assistant). I don't know how up-to-date he is, but we'll see what happens.
I don't have to worry too much about it for another year.
I didn't even KNOW they could only put it where the white spots are. I thought they put it over the entire tooth.
I am afraid my dentist would rough up the enamel too much and I wouldn't be able to have it removed if I didn't like it.
Thanks for you help, once again.
