Water Fluoride Level And Dental Journals

Dental caries remains a major public health problem in most of the industrialized countries, affecting 60-90% of school children and the vast majority of adults according to WHO report. It is also the most prevalent oral disease in several Asian and Latin American countries. The incidence of dental caries is increasing due to high consumption of sugars and inadequate exposure to fluoride. Among all the caries-preventive strategies, discovery of F and its remarkable properties in the prevention of dental caries is a classic example of extensive epidemiological research conducted in various parts of the world. The cariostatic effect of F occurs when F gets incorporated into the enamel during tooth development, whereas dental fluorosis results in the hypo mineralization of tooth enamel due to the continuous ingestion of the excessive amount of F during tooth development. This results in a variety of pathological changes in the structure of teeth. If this is not prevented during childhood it can hamper dental esthetics and psychological well-being of the child. In such scenario dental fluorosis is regarded as an unfortunate side-effect to F’s caries-protective benefits.
