The article is devoted to the histopathological characteristics of dental fluorosis — damaging of tooth enamel associated with constant and prolonged ingestion of excess fluoride in the body. It is noted that fluorosis is endemic and professional in nature. In severe cases, it is accompanied by damage to the hard tissue. Most often, fluorosis is observed during the eruption of permanent teeth, it practically does not occur in deciduous teeth. Fluorosis begins with whit- ish spots, which tinges yellow over the years.
