USA - Dental Association says fluoride causing discolored baby teeth

Dental Association says fluoride causing discolored baby teeth
From NBC12 News
The American Dental Association says some children are getting to much fluoride and it's causing discoloration in their teeth. While the condition is not extremely common, the ADA says there is one easy way to keep your child's fluoride level in check.
Because the condition - called flurosis - occurs at a young age, they recommend parents use distilled or filtered water to make some of the formula-ready bottles to feed their baby.
Dentists say flurosis first develops before the teeth erupt into the mouth and recommend wiping off babies’ gums with a warm washcloth. The ADA also stresses that flurosis is not permanent and should go away once the baby teeth fall out.
