What Is Fluorosis?
5. Drinking Water
As mentioned, many countries will add fluoride to their drinking water to help encourage healthy teeth. This is perfectly safe but, still, it has been found that the fluoride levels are too high in some cases. It is thought that this has been behind some instances of fluorosis, and some areas have decreased water flouring levels accordingly.
In addition to having too much fluoride in water, fluoride is also added to some fruit juices and similar. While this is all done with the best of intentions, it can contribute to fluorosis in some cases. It is always a good idea to check the packaging of food and drink to see what additives may be present.
