Fluorosis and its relation to Dental Caries:Review
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this review article is to assess the evidence on the positive and negative effects of fluoride consumption and the relation between fluorosis and dental caries. Fluoride when in normal amount in the air, water and dentifrices can do real good to the teeth in caries prevention. But when it is elevated or if there is over exposure of fluoride it leads to fluorosis. Fluorosis was always said to be preventing dental caries but in the other hand if there is severe fluorosis, there are incidences of multiple caries in the teeth of the same individual. Fluorosis can be prevented by having an adequate knowledge of the fluoride sources, knowing how to manage this issue and therefore, avoid over exposure.
