| Summary: |
Although the predominant beneficial effect of fluoride occurs
locally in the mouth, the adverse effect, dental fluorosis, occurs by the systemic
route. The caries attack rate in industrializedcountries, including the Unitedstates
and Canada, has decreased dramatically over the past 40 years. However, the
prevalence of dental fluorosis in the United States has increased during the last
30 years both in communities with fluoridated water and in communities with
nonfluoridated water. Dental fluorosis is closely associated with fluoride intake
during the period of tooth development |
