Fluoride, Serum/Plasma

Fluoride is a mineral commonly found in water, soil, and certain foods. It's known for its role in preventing tooth decay and strengthening tooth enamel.

Excessive fluoride intake, typically from sources like drinking water or certain dental products, can lead to dental fluorosis, a condition characterized by white streaks or spots on the teeth. In severe cases, excessive fluoride exposure can cause skeletal fluorosis, which may lead to joint pain and stiffness.
