As your teeth are developing if you experience high levels of fluoride, it will affect the enamel, which is the outer layer of the tooth and can also cause staining to the tooth.
Who Does This Effect?
Dental fluorosis affects children from the ages of 3 months to 8 years old, as this is when the tooth is still in its developing stage. In less severe cases dental fluorosis is hardly noticeable. However in more severe cases the tooth can become rough, which can make it hard to clean and also suffer from brown markings. The stains can be treated with whitening treatments.
How Can I Prevent Fluorosis From Happening?
If you try to limit the amount of fluoride you child has, it will reduce the chances of them suffering from dental fluorosis, as this only occurs when young children are exposed to too much fluoride.
