I Have Dental Fluorosis: Get Educated and Take Action!

We encourage you to educate yourself about dental fluorosis and your sources of fluoride, and why you have spots on your teeth. We also encourage you to voice your upset and submit your story and photos. Read our page about dental fluorosis, fluoridated water and fluorides.

The difficult news about dental fluorosis is that if you have it, it doesn’t go away if you simply stop ingesting fluorides. But that doesn’t mean you should keep ingesting fluorides in drinking water and from other sources! In addition to dental fluorosis, fluorides can cause other health concerns. For health reasons, you may wish to do like many people have done and stop drinking fluoridated water and stop cooking with it, and you may wish to use an unfluoridated toothpaste.

There are some great educational resources we would like to point you to. Be sure to check out our page with links and other valuable information.
