Dental fluorosis is also known as dental fluorosis or plaque enamel, which has regional characteristics and is a typical endemic disease. It is a common and prominent symptom in the early stage of chronic fluorosis.
So, what kind of harm can dental fluorosis bring?
As for the harm caused by dental fluorosis, doctors at Meiao Dental Office in Changsha pointed out that dental fluorosis occurs in the period of tooth calcification (before the age of 7 or 8), which is a dental disease caused by the hypoplasia of tooth enamel caused by drinking water with high fluoride content.
There were chalky patches on the enamel surface of mild fluorosis teeth, and the enamel still had hardness and luster.
The enamel of moderate fluorosis appears yellowish-brown or dark brown patches, and the enamel is still smooth and hard.
Most of the teeth with severe dental fluorosis and even the whole teeth have yellowish-brown patches, and there are linear, punctate or fossa and groove defects. There is deep staining in the depression, and the tooth surface loses luster.
Dental fluorosis is a chalky to brown patch on enamel that erupts at the same time. In severe cases, parenchymal defects of enamel may occur.
Clinically, it is usually divided into chalk type (mild), pigmentation type (moderate) and defect type (severe) according to its mild, moderate and severe.
The following is a specific analysis of the harm caused by dental fluorosis for you: 1. Patients with severe chronic fluorosis can have proliferative changes in bones, periostium, ligaments and other calcification, and thereby produce waist, leg and systemic joint symptoms.
Symptoms of acute poisoning are nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
Due to the combination of blood calcium and fluorine, the formation of insoluble calcium fluoride, causing muscle spasm, collapse and dyspnea, resulting in death.
2, dental fluorosis is generally seen in permanent teeth, but if fluoride intake is too much, more than its screening function limit, can also be irregular performance in the primary teeth.
3. Poor tolerance to friction, but strong resistance to acid etching.
4. In addition, the harm of dental fluorosis is also related to the impact on a person’s external image, no one wants to smile when you show your yellow teeth.
If this continues for a long time, it may also cause significant psychological damage to the patient.
