Abstract
It seems prudent at present to assume that the ameloblasts are not the only cells in the body whose function may be disturbed by the physiological concentrations of fluoride which result from drinking water containing 1 ppm. The safety of the use of fluorides ultimately rests on the assumption that the developing enamel organ is most sensitive to the toxic effects of fluoride. Fluoride causes dental fluorosis by damaging the enamel forming cell called ameloblasts. The damage of these cells results in a mineralization disorder of teeth. Dental professionals consider dental fluorosis to be solely a cosmetic effect and not a teeth effect. The present article presents a review on Dental flourosis with emphasis on the dual-ended sword behavior of Fluoride in Oral Health.
