Children today are at no greater risk of developing enamel fluorosis from infant formula than children in previous generations. However, new research has indicated that fluoride exposure during the first year of life may play a greater role in developing enamel fluorosis than was previously thought. It’s important to know that even if infants are fed formula mixed with water containing fluoride, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will develop enamel fluorosis. It means they might.
