What Causes White And Thick Toenails?

Question: My big toenail is almost all white and seems to be quite thick. I also have noticed that, on that same foot, other toes are getting white spots on them. Do I have an infection, a fungus, or what?
I forgot to tell you that I get pedicures every 5 to 7 weeks.
