Spotlight on dental fluorosis
Dental fluorosis is the appearance of white or brown marks on children’s permanent teeth.
– Caused by a lack of minerals in tooth enamel, sometimes due to excessive consumption of fluoride (found in drinking water, mouthwash and toothpaste)
– Severe stains can be disguised by professional tooth whitening
– See your dentist about managing your child’s fluoride consumption or they are self-conscious about their smile
“Having dental fluorosis can be a nuisance to your child’s physical appearance, but there aren’t any lasting effects of this condition on oral health”
