Abstract

Fluoride is largely consumed by people all around the world through drinking water. Fluorosis is caused by largely through high level of fluoride in consumable water, lowering the quality of human life. This becomes crucial considering that fluoride intake primarily comes from water. According to estimates, bones and teeth hold 99% of the fluoride that is absorbed by humans. Children retain 80% of the fluoride they have received, compared to adults who retain only 50%. The typical dietary fluoride in adults ranges from 0.020 to 0.048 mg/kg (living in places with water fluoride values of 1.0 mg/L). At a water fluoridation level of 1 mg/L, the prevalence of dental fluorosis has remained calculated to be 48% in fluoridated areas and 15% in non-fluoridated parts. Due to its global proliferation into further than 40 countries, mainly in mid-latitude zones, fluorosis has turned out to be endemic in numerous areas of the world. Typically, fluorosis in tooth tissues is considered a more severe form as a result of the increased intake of fluoride through water. Additionally, consuming vegetables and cereals full-grown in fluoridated zones increase the incidence of fluorosis in kids among the ages of 3 and 14 years. Established on different sources of water consumption between different communities, nutritional deficiency can be seen that leads to dental fluorosis in different concentration can be seen. The community fluoride index is used to measure the load of dental fluorosis in designated population. Nutritional status in children can be improved through preventive programs that are targeted at subpopulations that live in regions with high concentrations of fluoride in water. These programs are designed to prevent children from consuming an excessive amount of fluoride. Policymakers in the field of public health could target these subpopulations.
