Does flouride in toothpaste give kids bad teeth?
“I was tormented at school because of my brown teeth”
Lisa Wain from Mansfield was 10 when, after three years of taunting and teasing at school because of her brown teeth, she had veneers put over her front top teeth. She had received a diagnosis of dental fluorosis, having swallowed toothpaste since early childhood, and been initially told by a dentist that she simply had dirty teeth.
Looking back, Lisa, now 23, says her self-confidence started to come back as soon as she got her new white teeth. But, beyond the initial expense, they have caused problems. She pays higher premiums on her dental insurance policy because of the risks of her veneers coming off. “I had to have one replaced a few years ago because it got chipped, and another one fell off.”
