What Is Fluorosis, and How Does It Affect Teeth and Bones? - #15222

Anonymous

I recently heard about fluorosis, and I’m trying to understand how it affects health. From what I read, fluorosis happens when there’s too much fluoride in the body, but how does that actually impact the teeth and bones? I’ve seen pictures of dental fluorosis, where teeth develop white or brown stains, but does this only happen in children, or can adults get it too? Also, is skeletal fluorosis a serious condition? Can it lead to joint pain, bone stiffness, or other long-term issues? What are the sources of excess fluoride exposure? Is it mainly from drinking water, or can it come from toothpaste, food, or certain medications? Are there natural ways to prevent or reverse fluorosis? Does Ayurveda recommend any detox methods or dietary changes to remove excess fluoride from the body? If anyone has been affected by fluorosis, what steps did you take to improve your dental or bone health?

Fluorosis occurs due to excessive fluoride intake, primarily affecting teeth and bones. Dental fluorosis, common in children, causes white, yellow, or brown stains on teeth as they develop, while skeletal fluorosis leads to joint pain, bone stiffness, and, in severe cases, deformities. Fluoride overexposure comes from fluoridated water, toothpaste, certain foods, and medications. Ayurveda suggests detoxification through Panchakarma, consuming fluoride-free water, and using herbs like Triphala, coriander, and turmeric to support liver detoxification. A diet rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin C (found in sesame seeds, Amla, and leafy greens) helps protect bones and teeth. Oil pulling with sesame oil and brushing with herbal powders like neem can also support oral health.
