Fluorosis is affecting osseous tissue and may result in crippling situation of person with difficulties in walking
A range of visible changes occur in the enamel, causing a change in color tones within the teeth, and in some cases lead to tooth damage. The severity of the condition depends on the dose of fluoride, the duration and age of the person during exposure. The simplest form of dental fluorosis (the most common) appears as pale white lines or spots. Moderate cases are characterized by the appearance of white spots but engraved on the tooth enamel with the presence of pigmentations that distort the appearance of the tooth, while the teeth are formed in the most cases of fluoridation brown color and scattered patterns or combined and brown pigmentation covers most of the teeth appear to look corrosive. In people with excessive fluorosis, their teeth may be relatively resistant to caries.
