Flouride , a double edge sword

 Fluoride helps to prevent tooth decay 

formation. If toothpaste containing flouride 

given to children whose permanent teeth are 

about to form , then flouride makes the tooth be 

stronger and resistant to tooth decay .



But if developing teeth absorb too much flouide

 , then they can become permanently stained . 

Adults who take in more flouride throughout 

their life time , are more prone to bone fractures 



.

Hence fluoride must be taken in a prescribed 

manner by a doctor as it is having both 

beneficial and hazardous qualities .
