MEDICAL ASPECTS OF COMPREHENSIVE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF FLUOROSIS IN CHILDREN LIVING IN AN ENDEMIC AREA

Аннотация

Fluorosis is a dental condition resulting from excessive fluoride exposure during tooth development, leading to discoloration and structural defects in enamel. In endemic areas, where fluoride levels in water are naturally high, children are particularly vulnerable. This article discusses the medical aspects of comprehensive prevention and treatment of fluorosis in children, focusing on strategies to mitigate fluoride exposure, early detection, and effective treatment methods. Understanding these components is crucial for improving oral health outcomes in affected populations.
