	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Dental fluorosis
		Dental fluorosis occurs during tooth development especially between the ages of 6 months to 5 years, from the overexposure to fluoride.
		Fluorosis can not occur once the tooth has erupted in to the oral cavity.
		The incidence of dental decay in those teeth is very small.

	Fluoride intake and sky-rocketing fluorosis rates
		Considerable dental fluorosis was found in both regular and irregular user groups of the fluoride supplement (38 to 63 per cent of the children seen), however, with no statistical difference between the user groups.
		The purpose of the present study was to assess whether the degree of severity of enamel changes in a population exhibiting rather severe dental fluorosis may be related to posteruptive tooth age and to describe the clinical manifestations of the enamel destructions.
		Dental fluorosis reflects an increasing porosity of the surface and subsurface enamel, causing the enamel to appear opaque.

	Fluorides and Fluoridation - Dental Fluorosis
		Fluoride supplements are a risk factor for dental fluorosis, though their contribution to the increase in fluorosis prevalence is less than that of water fluoridation and fluoridated dentifrices because of their more limited and shorter use.
		The prevalence of dental fluorosis in nonfluoridated communities ranged from 1.7 percent in 16-year-olds to 13.9 percent in 10-year-olds and, in fluoridated communities, ranged from 17.1 percent in 13-year-olds to 33.0 percent in 14-year-olds.
