Fluorosis is a dental condition that can affect how your teeth look. If you experienced excessive exposure to fluoride when you were young, your teeth may have discoloration in the form of stains that are light yellowish to dark brown. Fluorosis was first discovered in the early 1900s in Colorado Springs, where there were extremely high concentrations of fluoride occurring naturally in the water.  In addition to the stains, the people of Colorado Springs had very few cavities. This caused public health professionals to look for a good balance — enough fluoride to prevent cavities, but not so much that the stains were produced. Well-meaning parents who give their children extra fluoride supplements may be dismayed to find they’ve caused their childrens’ teeth to be discolored. If you’re one of the people who have experienced teeth discoloration due to fluorosis, we have a solution for you. Our CustMbite Smile Whitening Kit has the chemicals necessary to remove the stains caused by fluorosis. As you begin a whitening treatment, be aware that the fluorosis symptoms could actually seem worse when you first start a teeth whitening regimen, but after a short time, the discoloration should begin to disappear.
