Dental Fluorosis. Condition or Disease?
Once your teeth have erupted into your mouth, they are not susceptible to fluorosis. Dental fluorosis is a cosmetic condition, not a disease. Often, it is so mild that only a dental professional can detect it. Most cases of dental fluorosis result from young children taking fluoride supplements or swallowing fluoride toothpaste when the water they drink is already fluoridated.
