Introduction:
Appropriate oral health care is fundamental for any individual’s health. Dental caries is still one of the major public health problems. The most effective way of caries prevention is the use of fluoride.
Aim:
The aim of our research was to review the literature about fluoride toxicity and to inform physicians, dentists and public health specialists whether fluoride use is expedient and safe.
Methods:
Data we used in our review were systematically searched
As a trace element, fluoride can help ward off dental cavities. Exceptionally high pre- and postnatal exposures, as seen in populations whose drinking water supplies are contaminated by natural fluoride sources, have been implicated in a number of adverse health effects.1,2,3,4 However, less is known about fluoride’s neurotoxic risks at lower levels of exposure. A new study in Environmental Health Perspectives examines risks of exposure to prenatal fluoride at concentrations typical of the g
Understandably, it is not uncommon to find reference to arthritic changes, if for no other reason than the difficulty of distinguishing them from certain fluoride effects on bone.
... Data are available from a single epidemiological study of gynecologic problems in female workers in a superphosphate manufacturing plant (Kuznetsova, 1969)[ref.99]. The exposed group comprised 302 women mostly 20-40 years old and the control group 309 office employees and housewives not exposed to F. Dust concen
