Alternative Treatment for Severe Fluorosis

The prevalence of dental fluorosis is on the increase in different parts of the world, even in areas with fluoride-deficient public water supplies. This may be due to increased use of fluoride in preventive dentistry. So it should be consideration all sources of fluoride intake before prescribing fluoride supplements. Preventive management of dental fluorosis includes de-fluoridation of drinking water in endemic areas, cautions use of fluoride supplements and supervision of the use of fluoride toothpaste by children aged below 5 years. Treatment of fluorosed teeth may be managed by bleaching, micro-abrasion, veneer- ing or crowning. The choice between these treatments depend on the severity of the fluorosed tooth. In addition to aesthetically objectionable of fluorosed teeth, it should concern about the lost of vertical dimension of face for normal developmental growth of jaw. This report presents alternative treatment of severe fluorosis in 9 years old boy.
