A discolouration of teeth from excessive fluoride in drinking water. This most frequently occurs when the water has natural fluoridation. It is characterised by lacy white lines (mottling).
an abnormal condition (as mottled enamel of human teeth) caused by fluorine or its compounds
Discoloration of the teeth due to excessive fluoride in drinking water. Teeth look as if they have lacy white lines (mottling). Most often occurs when the drinking water has natural fluoridation.
Discoloration of the enamel due to too much fluoride ingestion (greater than one (1) part per million) systemically into the bloodstream, also called enamel mottling.
A disease condition characterized by a mottled tooth enamel and caused by the ingestion of excessive amounts of fluorine in drinking water. Fluorosis negatively affects tooth development, particularly in children less than six years of age, and, on a longer-term basis, leads to osteoporosis.
An abnormal condition caused by excessive intake of fluorine, characterized chiefly by mottling of the teeth.
Adverse effects of fluoride, as in dental or skeletal fluorosis.
