Urinary fluoride levels of children residing in communities with naturally occurring fluorides in the drinking water.
The studies by Dean and others in the 1930's established excessive fluorides as the causative agent in the mottling of teeth. Although cultural and dietary patterns have changed during the past half century, this study suggests that the fluoride intake has remained relatively constant and generally proportional to the community's water fluoride level.
