  • Title: Why do I have white spots on my front teeth?
    Author: Dincer E.
    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2008 Jan; 74(1):58-60. PubMed ID: 18402380.
    Abstract:
    Aesthetics have always been important in mainstream society. Fluorosis, a condition of hypomineralization of the enamel, is at its most critical stage when a child is between 22 and 25 months of age. Because their swallowing reflex is not fully developed, children under the age of 6 can swallow between 25% and 33% of fluoridated toothpaste with each brushing. In order to better educate parents about fluorosis and its effect on children's teeth, it is worth revisiting the guidelines for toothpaste use.
