Treatment and Prevention of Fluorosis in Children of School Age

Abstract

Relevance of the problem: Fluorine compounds, widely distributed in nature, are part of all human organs. The amount of fluorine deposited in tissues directly depends on its intake into the body from various sources, primarily from drinking water. The optimal content of fluorine in drinking water is considered to be a concentration of 0.7-1.0 mg/l. At the same time, in the context of scientific and technological progress, fluorine has become one of the most common soil and water pollutants. Having a high reactivity, high concentrations of fluorine are able to penetrate the protective barriers of the human body and cause a variety of metabolic disorders.
