\n<\/section>\n
\nExcessive intake of fluoride, primarily through drinking water, leads to a condition called fluorosis. Dental fluorosis causes discoloration and mottling of tooth enamel, especially during tooth development. Skeletal fluorosis affects bones, causing joint pain, stiffness, and in severe cases, crippling deformities. Many areas in India have groundwater naturally high in fluoride.
