Dental fluorosis is a disturbance affecting the enamel formation related to excessive ingestion of fluoride during the time of enamel mineralization. Although fluorosis in its mild form is not considered to be of cosmetic significance, the more severe forms affect tooth structure and can cause psychological distress to the affected individual. This paper presents a case of a female patient with severe dental fluorosis who was managed for dental aesthetics.
