Fluorosis of the primary dentition: what does it mean for permanent teeth?

Article Abstract:

Children who develop fluorosis of the primary teeth at 1-2 years of age may be at greater risk of fluorosis of their permanent teeth. Fluorosis is a white, mottled discoloration of the teeth from excessive exposure to fluoride as the teeth are developing. Primarily a cosmetic problem, fluorosis is more common in regions where the fluoride content of drinking water is quite high, in children who may receive fluoride supplements unnecessarily, and in children who swallow fluoride toothpaste. Detection of primary-tooth fluorosis permits the dentist to evaluate a child's fluoride exposure and make adjustments before the permanent teeth are damaged.
