Suggest Remedy For White Patches On Teeth

My gums appeared normal, but right after brushing and then rinsing with listerine whitening mouthwas, a small white patch appeared under one tooth. Like I said, everything looked fine prior. The spot didn't go away with brushing, but was able to scrape it off with a floss pick.I am panicking because I chew tobacco
