Dental fluorosis also called mottling of tooth enamel is a developmental disturbance of dental enamel caused by excessive exposure to high concentrations of fluoride during tooth development. The risk of fluoride overexposure occurs at any age but it is higher at younger ages.In its mild forms (which are its most common) fluorosis often appears as unnoticeable tiny white streaks or specks in the enamel of the tooth.
