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
