dental fluorosis symptoms
Skeletal Fluorosis: A âDiagnostic Riddleâ. One of the reasons doctors fail to detect skeletal fluorosis is because the symptoms and appearance of fluorosis can closely resemble other, more commonly known, bone and joint diseases. This is true for both the early and late stages of the disease. In the initial stages, known as âpre-skeletalâ fluorosis, a patient may suffer a variety of symptoms in the absence of any detectable bone changes, including joint pains, joint stiffness, and gastric distress.
