Abstract
|
|
|
|
Fluoride is a very effective element that can help prevent dental caries. The most economical and safest way of using fluoride is to add fluoride to the tap water. However, care must be taken to maintain the adequate concentration of fluoride in drinking water by regular check-up. Unless, dental fluorosis may occur. We are presenting a case of concurrent occurrence of fluorosis in people living in the same village in Korea, where drinking water contained high concentration of fluoride.
