How does bone fluorosis cause

Bone fluorosis is mainly caused by long-term intake of water or food containing fluoride. When excessive fluoride ions enter the blood, they may combine with magnesium ions and calcium ions, causing muscle spasms, convulsions, and pain. The most typical manifestations are bone damage and dental fluorosis. In severe cases, it can cause vertebral deformation, compression of nerves, and paraplegia. It can be diagnosed by blood tests, urine tests, and imaging examinations. Mild skeletal fluorosis can be treated with calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate, magnesium preparations, etc. It can increase calcium intake, promote the excretion of fluorine, reduce bone turnover, and reduce the damage of fluorine to the body; severe skeletal fluorosis should be considered for surgery.
