High fluoride concentrations in drinking water are normally associated with dental fluorosis which affects the bone density. Different degrees of fluorosis scores can be used as a possible indication of bone density and possible warning signs for skeletal fluorosis and other bone-density related diseases.
Dental fluorosis - also called as mottled enamel, is an extremely common disorder which is characterized by hypomineralization of tooth enamel. It is caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation. It appears as a range of visual changes in enamel causing varying degrees of intrinsic tooth discoloration, and, physical damage to the teeth in some severe cases. The severity of the condition depends on the dose, duration, and age of the individual during the exposure.
Skeletal fluorosis - It is a bone disease that is caused by excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones. In severe cases, skeletal fluorosis causes painful damage to bones and joints. It is mainly caused by inhalation of fluoride dusts or fumes by workers in industries, consumption of excess fluoride from drinking water, consumption of fluoride from drinking tea, especially brick tea. It can be caused by cryolite (Na3AlF6, sodium hexafluoroaluminate), and the disease was first recognized among workers processing cryolite. In India, the most common cause of fluorosis is fluoride-laden drinking water which is sourced as groundwater from deep-bore wells.

Dental fluorosis
It is also known as mottled enamel. It is a very common disorder. It is characterized by hypomineralization of tooth enamel. It is caused by ingestion of excessive fluoride during enamel formation.
Skeletal fluorosis
It is a bone disease. It is caused due to excessive accumulation of fluoride in the bones. In advanced cases it causes painful damage to bones and joints.
