Fluorosis: The treatment for fluorosis will depend on the extent of the staining so this will vary for each person. The best way to find the answer for your particular situation is with a dental evaluation. Some of the possible solutions are bonding, veneers or crowns.

Floourosis: Flourosis may be a potentially embarassing esthetic problem for some people. The extent will differ among most patients. Tx can vary from simple enamel abrasion techniques to needing veneers or crowning to hide the effects. You will need to discuss treatment options with your dentist as it is more of a case by case situation than a generic fix.

VARIES: Fluorosis stain can be very severe or mild, depending on each individual. Sometime a paste, mi paste may help with some minor enamel defects, but sometimes more radical procedures are required- composite acrylic covering, veneers, crowns. Depends...I would get more than one opinion and consider options.

KOR Bleach or veneer: Fluorosis is the most difficult staining to irradiate with dental bleaching, but KOR Whitening System is the best chance to improve your natural teeth. To understand the process, go to their web site. Porcelain veneers would also improve your appearance, but would be more expensive and permanently alter your natural tooth structure. Do your homework and do what's best for you!
