I have just ordered this stuff called Tooth Mousse after someone on here mentioned it. I'm getting it for sensitive teeth reasons, but apparently it can help white spots too:

<i><B>Can Tooth Mousse reverse white spot lesions?</b>

Tooth Mousse can rebuild subsurface areas of defects in enamel, including white spot lesions from dental caries, white spot lesions associated with orthodontic treatment and fluorosis. In these defects, there are subsurface voids which can be very effectively remineralised by application with Tooth Mousse, and this has been shown using optical and also radiographic tests at the University of Melbourne. For some white spot lesions it may be necessary to first pre-treat the lesion before application of Tooth Mousse. This pre-treatment may involve bleaching, acid etching or microabrasion. Recent research at the Dental School at the University of Melbourne has demonstrated that pre-bleaching is an effective pre-treatment for Tooth Mousse application.</i>

I bought mine online from here: http://www.dentalshop.com.au
