Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluoride is widely used in dental products and water fluoridation to prevent tooth decay. However, growing concerns have emerged regarding the potential health risks of excessive fluoride exposure. This research line addresses these concerns and provides scientifically sound information to inform public health decision making.
This research line aims to:
- Identify sources of fluoride exposure: This includes assessing both natural and anthropogenic sources, such as drinking water, different drinks and foods, toothpaste, and industrial emissions.
- Evaluate the health effects of fluoride exposure: This involves examining the potential adverse effects of fluoride on various organ systems, including teeth, bones, and the nervous system.
- Develop risk assessment models: These models will predict the likelihood of individuals or populations developing fluoride-related health problems.
- Inform public health policies: The research findings will guide the development of evidence-based public health policies to minimize fluoride exposure and protect public health.
This Special Issue aims to comprehensively understand the complex relationship between fluoride exposure and human health. The findings from this research will be essential for protecting public health and ensuring the safe intake and exposure of fluoride in all ambits.
