Abstract

Dental fluorosis originates from the exposure of tooth germ during its formation process, the high concentrations of fluoride.This work aims to evaluate the prevalence and severity of fluorosis levels in students from the locality of bitter in the city of Verdelândia -MG.An epidemiological study was conducted and controlled in 52 children 07-12 years of age, of both sexes, the School Journalist BicalhoBrandão, in the locality of the bitter, regularly enrolled. Subsequently, a plan of action to address the problem of fluorosis was prepared on site. Water fluoridation is an important preventive measure for the decline in the prevalence of tooth decay, but should be monitored, so that the fluoride concentration is maintained within appropriate for caries control and prevention of dental fluorosis.
