32% of American children now have some form of dental Fluorosis, a white or brown mottling of the teeth.”
-Time Magazine, October 24, 2005-
Excessive ingestion of fluoride during the early childhood years may damage the tooth-forming cells, leading to a defect in the enamel known as dental Fluorosis.
Recent research indicates that the rate of bone fracture among children with Dental Fluorosis (even in the mild forms) is higher than the bone fracture rates among children with no Dental Fluorosis.
