Does fluoride cause delayed tooth eruption or anything else?
6 doctors weighed in across 4 answers
No: Fluoride is not associated with delayed tooth eruption. If there is excessive Fluoride intake during tooth development fluorosis (a mottling of the teeth) can occur. This is a cosmetic problem, though functionally the teeth are fine. In cases of Fluoride overdose (which would require very high levels of acute or chronic Fluoride intake), other more serious physiologic effects can occur.

No delayed eruption: Fluoride would have no effect on the eruption pattern of teeth. At appropriate concentrations it strengthens teeth and despite some some poorly done studies it has no known detrimental affect.

Absolutely not: Given in proper therapeutic amounts, the only things that Fluoride causes are stronger teeth and stronger bones. Talk to your pediatrician before age 1 and your dentist after age 1for proper use of Fluoride for your child. Every community is different, so get professional advice.
