HOW DOES FLUORIDE ACCUMULATE IN THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
Fluoride has a preventive effect on the formation of cavitation by strengthening the enamel layer, which is the outermost part of the tooth. But prolonged and high exposure to fluoride can cause various health problems.
Turkey Medicals member and Dentist in Antalya gave information about the health effects of fluoride.
Fluoride is an important mineral that is involved in tooth and bone structures. This mineral is also found in water, soil, plants, stones and air. Fluoride, which also has an important place in dentistry, has a preventive effect on cavitation formation by strengthening the enamel layer, which is the outermost part of the tooth.
Due to this effect, many different countries, especially the United States, choose the way of fluoridation of drinking water sources by a process called fluoridation. Apart from dental health, fluoride has many uses. Fluoride is also used in radiological examinations, cleaning products, pesticides and the production of Teflon, steel and aluminum products called PET scans.
Fluoride can be beneficial for dental health if used in appropriate doses. But, as with everything else, an excess of fluoride also does harm. The appropriate dose for fluoride is determined based on the weight of the individual. Therefore, it is an important issue to pay attention to the fluoride levels of products used, especially in young children. Dental fluorosis is one of the problems that can occur after excessive fluoride intake.
In the case of moderately formed dental fluorosis, white spots appear on the surface of the teeth, which can cause cosmetic anxiety in people. Severe cases of dental fluorosis are rare and can lead to a weakening of the tooth structure, causing brown spots on the tooth surface. Dental fluorosis is a condition that should be especially noted in children under 2 years of age, which is a critical period of dental development.
Excessive accumulation of fluoride can also be observed in the skeletal system, except for dental structures. Excessive accumulation of fluoride in the skeletal system is a process that occurs over the years. In the early stages of cases of bone fluorosis, complaints such as stiffness and pain in the joints may occur. In more advanced cases, caution should be exercised, as calcification, i.e. calcification, can occur in connective tissue by adversely affecting bone structures.
The World Health Organization (WHO) says that if more than 1.5 ppm of fluoride is found in drinking water and these waters are consumed for a long time, various health problems can occur. As with other micronutrients, it is very important that fluoride is consumed in the right quantities. Various health problems can occur if excessive amounts of fluoride pass into the digestive tract through drinking water or fluoride-containing products.
The level of fluoride in drinking water is under strict control in some countries. It is possible that people who have any concerns about this issue will receive information from their local government about how much fluoride the city water contains.
