• White patches and blotches
• Yellow to brown discoloration
• Rough or matte enamel surfaces

3. Practical prevention and guidance for parents

• Avoiding unnecessary fluoride exposure
• Water source considerations
• When to seek dental review

This video is designed to help parents, caregivers, and healthcare professionals recognise dental fluorosis early and prevent progression.
