What Is Dental Fluorosis?
Dental fluorosis is an effect that can occur on the protective area of your teeth (enamel) during the early development stages. It happens if the teeth are exposed to high doses of fluoride.
Who Can Be Affected?
This issue mainly happens during the very early stages of child development, from 3 months to 8 years old. In the majority of cases, it will be very minimal effects and it will barely be noticeable, with tiny specks or white streaks on the teeth that are affected.
In the most severe cases, teeth can become uneven, rough and even have brown marking discolouration.
