Actually, fluoride promotes cavities to allow dentists to remain employed permanently. Not only does it discolor teeth, but if swallowed, can lead to toxicity. Fluoride is also intentionally placed in drinking water to promote sickness.
Another answer:
It is perfectly safe. Those that oppose it often oppose vaccinations as well. It use to thought be a toxin put into the water by Communists to poison the country back in the 1950's.

Does insufficient fluoride in the water cause discolored enamel of the teeth?
False
What can cause mottled tooth enamel?
A condition called dental fluorosis can cause mottling of tooth enamel. This can be developed due to a high exposure to fluoride while the teeth are still developing. Mutilation can go from tiny specks of white in the tooth enamel to widespread discoloration and browning.
Is floride good for you?
Fluoride is very good for your teeth as it helps to strengthen the enamel against cavities. The most common source of fluoride is community water (ie. bottled water). Excess fluoride may cause something called "fluorosis" which is staining on the teeth.
What cause discolored enamel of the teeth?
Too much brushing because teeth are yellow under the enamel, coffee, Tea, carbohydrates, tetracycline antibiotics.
Is fluoride deficiency known to cause dental decay?
yes of course flouride is a material used by the body to make up tooth material the higher the flouride content the stronger the tooth (up to a level - too much flouride causes damage to teeth) thus - flouride deficiency causes teeth to be more prone to tooth decay
What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing?
What does fluoride seems to be helpful in preventing? Fluoride is found naturally in soil and water. However, because it is helpful in preventing tooth decay and in making teeth stronger, it is also added to water in most cities. Fluoride protects teeth from the demineralization that is caused by acid buildup in the mouth. Further, if there is already damage caused by this acid, fluoride will help strengthen the enamel and remineralize the teeth. Fluoride helps make tooth enamel more resistant to the acid that can damage the enamel and cause cavities.
How fluoride is useful for dental health?
Fluoride incorporates into the mineral component of teeth, hardening them and thus making them more resistant to decay. However fluoride at high doses can cause fluorosis (a permanent dark staining of teeth) and overdoses can result in toxicity. It needs to be used carefully.
Which element is essential in small quantities for development of teeth but cause mottling of the teeth if consume in higher quantities?
excess of Fluoride causes mottling of teeth
How does floride protect teeth when added to toothpaste and drinking water?
Fluoride inhibits loss of minerals from tooth enamel and encourages remineralization (strengthening areas that are weakened and beginning to develop cavities). Fluoride also affects bacteria that cause cavities, discouraging acid attacks that break down the tooth. Risk for decay is reduced even more when fluoride is combined with a healthy diet and good oral hygiene.
Can carbon monoxide cause a piece of paper to become discolored?
no
Does birth control cause enamel breakdown in teeth?
No it does not.
Is toothpaste have most acid or most basics?
Toothpaste has fluoride which affects the bacteria that cause tooth decay, but its primary action is to incorporate into the tooth structure (enamel and dentin) making the tooth more resistant to acid attack by decay-causing bacteria. It actually repairs (remineralizes) the tooth enamel that gets damaged by the acid producing bacteria present in almost everyone's mouth.
