Dental fluorosis

If you’re suffering from dental fluorosis and are feeling self-conscious about your smile, you’re not alone. Caused by excessive fluoride consumption, it can result in discolouration on the surface of the tooth. 

Luckily, there is a range of options for you to create a dreamy smile, one of them being instasmile clip-on veneers. 

Here’s what you need to know about dental fluorosis, including how to cover it and get your hands on an A-lister smile. 

What is dental fluorosis?

Dental fluorosis is a cosmetic dental condition that is caused by excessive fluoride intake during tooth development, typically before the age of 8, when the adult teeth are still forming. 

It occurs when high levels of fluoride are ingested (from drinking water, toothpaste, or fluoride treatments), leading to changes in the appearance of the enamel. 

Like most tooth problems, the severity can vary. It starts with mild white streaks or spots, and more serious cases find brown stains, indentations, and weakened enamel. 

While it is a cosmetic issue and most cases don’t escalate to affecting the function, it can cause low self-esteem.

Can you get veneers for dental fluorosis?

Veneers are a popular treatment for addressing a range of cosmetic dental concerns, including dental fluorosis. 

It involves thin, custom-made shells being adhered to the front surface of the tooth to improve the appearance. Dental veneers improve aesthetics, durability, and function. 

However, many patients require enamel removal to make room for the new addition, as well as maximising adhesion. This can lead to sensitivity and weak teeth, having further implications for the health of their teeth. 

Other options for dental fluorosis include teeth whitening, dental/composite bonding, crowns, and enamel microabrasion. Although effective, the results are case-dependent, costly, and can take up to a few months to complete.
