White spots are the first signs of tooth decay. This is the make or break point. Visit a Pediatric dentist and get evaluated further. You need a detailed diet history and diet counselling.
Reducing your sugar exposure and mainly the frequency would help you control the stage. You can additionally go in for fluoride varnish application which would be beneficial at this stage. Also you might need a change in your child’s toothpaste if you are not using the apt one as per his oral needs.
Wishing him a healthy smile. Best wishes
