This document discusses fluorosis, a disease caused by excessive fluoride intake. It notes three types: dental fluorosis, skeletal fluorosis, and non-skeletal fluorosis. It then provides details on a national program for prevention and control of fluorosis in India, including village surveys, medication distribution, and guidance for primary health centers. Graphs show cases found through screening and high urine fluoride levels. Recommended actions include ensuring medication stocks, testing and referring patients, and community education.
