What Is Fluorosis?
6. Symptoms
As mentioned, the symptoms of fluorosis are quite mild. There are rarely any severe physical defects and the symptoms tend to be purely aesthetic. Any physical defects present can include pits, which can often be very distinct even if they don’t cause problems. Some patients will also experience irregularities on the surface of the teeth.
Another of the symptoms that fluorosis can cause is yellow/brown stains on the teeth. This can be quite distressing for some patients because of the impact it has on their physical appearance. The treatment can also be quite difficult to bear, especially where young children are concerned.
