Dr Dental – Too Much Fluoride
Monitoring Infant’s Fluoride Intake.
Many cities fluoridated their tap water. If you add fluoridated water to your infant’s baby formula, your child may be at risk of developing dental fluorosis. Though a harmless cosmetic condition, fluorosis manifests by brown, mottled, or discolored tooth enamel. Although fluoride is necessary to prevent tooth decay, too much can cause fluorosis in infants and children. Talk to your dentist and ensure you are not using too much fluoride.
