Dental fluorosis occurs while the permanent teeth are developing, before they have erupted. The greatest risk is from birth to 8, particularly between 15 and 30 months. Fluoride intake after the age of 8 cannot cause fluorosis.
When does fluorosis develop?
It may result when children regularly consume fluoride during the teeth-forming years, age 8 and younger. Most dental fluorosis in the U.S. is very mild to mild, appearing as white spots on the tooth surface that may be barely noticeable and do not affect dental function.
Is dental fluorosis common?
Dental fluorosis is a common disorder, characterized by hypomineralization of tooth enamel caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation.
