On the effect of fluoride treatment on the human body
In recent times, there have been many opinions on the impact of fluoride treatment on human health. To investigate the fact, it is necessary to investigate in detail.
Fluoride treatment is mostly used in oral health care, with the intention of preventing caries. The reason is that fluoride ions combine with tooth enamel to generate more acid-resistant fluoroapatite, which enhances the anti-caries ability of teeth. Many studies in the past have shown that moderate application of fluoride can indeed reduce caries. Looking at dental clinics, the incidence of dental caries is often lower in those treated with fluoride than in those who have not been treated.
However, some commentators say that fluoride treatment may pose a hidden danger. Excessive intake of fluoride can cause dental fluorosis, and even cause fluorosis. Due to the excessive intake of fluoride by the human body, it interferes with the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, and affects bones and teeth. For example, in some areas, due to the high fluoride content of the water source, residents drink it for a long time, and dental fluorosis and bone fluorosis are common. This is a clear evidence of the harm of excessive fluoride.
Furthermore, the impact of fluoride on other systems of the human body has also attracted more and more attention. Studies have suspected that it may have potential effects on the nervous system, endocrine system, etc. Although there is no conclusive conclusion at present, such doubts cannot be ignored.
To sum up, the health effects of fluoride treatment have advantages and disadvantages. To make good use of it, it is necessary to accurately control the dose and application method. Healers need to weigh individual differences and be cautious when treating. The public should also increase their awareness and treat fluoride treatment scientifically in order to achieve the purpose of health care and avoid its harm.
