Exposure to fluoride comes from fluoridated water, reconstituted baby formula with fluoridated water,soft drinks, certain foods, dentifrices (toothpaste), mouthrinses, topical fluoride solutions and gels, oral supplements and professional varnish application. Unfortunately, this has led to an increase in the prevalence of
dental fluorosis. The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) found a 9% higher prevalence of dental fluorosis in American children than was found in a similar survey 20 years ago. This increase in the prevalence of fluorosis has been found not only in fluoridated communities but also in non-fluoridated communities
