Fluorosis
Fluoridosis[edit]
Adverse effects of fluoride, as in dental fluorosis or skeletal fluorosis.
Proper amount of fluoride[edit]
The proper amount of fluoride helps prevent and control tooth decay in children and adults.
How does fluoride work?[edit]
Fluoride works both while the teeth are developing and every day after the teeth have emerged through the gums.
Fluoride levels in drinking water[edit]
You should know the fluoride concentration in your primary source of drinking water, especially if you have young children. Fluoride tablets or drops should not be used at all if your drinking water has the recommended fluoride concentration of 0.7 mg/L or higher.
