Researchers and scientists are now begining come forward with the findings that too much fluoride actually distroys teeth by corrosion known as dental fluorosis. Some fluoride is flushed from the body, but most of it accumulates and causes your teeth and bones to become more brittle; causing skeletal fluorosis and increased rates of hip fractures in some elderly people when exposed to excessive fluoridation such as common tap water in fluoridated cities. The tap water in Japan is not fluoridated and experts suggest that because the use of fluoride in Japan is very minimal (virtually non existant), that Japanese people have stronger bones and teeth than American who use fluoride.

Why Do Our Teeth Discolor?

As you age, the outer layer of enamel on your teeth gets worn away exposing the yellow dentin. Your tooth dentin also grows as you age, which decreases the size of the pulp. The translucency of the tooth reduces, making it look darker. Genetics: Thicker and whiter enamel runs in some families.


What is the difference between enamel lamella and crack?

Enamel lamellae are defects in tooth enamel that result from incomplete mineralization, while cracks in enamel are actual fractures in the enamel surface that can extend into deeper layers. Enamel lamellae are usually superficial and do not necessarily compromise the structural integrity of the tooth, whereas cracks can weaken the enamel and potentially lead to tooth sensitivity or decay.
