Abstract

Fluoride is known to affect mineralized tissues of the body and, when consumed at greater than optimal levels, it disturbs the process of tooth and bone mineralization. Excessive consumption of fluoride can cause dental or skeletal fluorosis. Skeletal fluorosis is caused by consumption of much higher quantities of fluoride over extended periods and is a crippling disease characterized by severe bone deformities. On the other hand, dental fluorosis is much more common and can be caused by consumption of fluoride at levels slightly higher than optimal. Dental fluorosis is a developmental defect that occurs due to ingestion of excess fluoride during critical periods of tooth development. Dental fluorosis can affect the appearance and structure of the tooth.
