Side Effects of Fluoride
Fluorosis
Like many other nutrients, there can be adverse side effects if a person takes in too much fluoride.
Fluorosis Is the most well-known side effect of over-ingestion of fluoride. Most cases of fluorosis in the United States are mild, resulting in bright white spots on the tooth enamel.
A severe case of fluorosis may result in pitted, brittle, or malformed enamel. Such a case could develop if a child drinks water with high fluoride concentration. Fluorosis could happen in rural areas with unregulated well-water, such as in the mountains of Colorado.
For fluorosis to occur, the excess fluoride must be ingested before the teeth are formed. For adult front teeth, this means that the exposure time is from birth to 9 months old.
Topical fluorides are relevant to fluorosis only if a child inadvertently swallows large amounts.

Guadalupe GonzalezWe have loved you guys since my son was 1 yr old. He's now 10. Still happy. He had 4 teeth extracted today and everything went swimmingly. Thank you!!
Casey WeissThe staff is all tailored to every child’s needs. I have watched them provide excellent service to not only my 4 children for the last 13 years but any child that is in there. I bring 4 wild children in at the same time everytime and although they are grown to not being running wild anymore, when they were they understood and were respectful. They are a well oiled machine and dr. NGO is amazing. They are gentle and allow the children a safe place to take it all in. This place will not traumatize your children. As we know the dentist isn’t fun. This place is fun. Thank you kids focus. One happy mom
