A member asked:
I brush my teeth and use mouthwash 3 times a day. am i going to get fluorosis?

NO: Fluorosis can only occur while teeth are still forming, unerupted, under the gum (prior to age 6). It can not happen once a tooth has erupted into your mouth. As an adult you do not have to worry about this.

No: Fluorosis happens when the amount of Fluoride ingested is higher than ideal while the teeth are forming. At 32 years of age, your teeth are fully formed, and have been for a few decades. Also, toothpastes and mouthwashes that contain Fluoride do not cause fluorosis since you don't ingest them. Parents: make sure your kids don't eat the toothpaste, and only use a pea-sized amount for kids.
