Susheela concludes: "These findings indicate that children with or even without dental fluorosis from exposure to excess fluoride, either through drinking water or through other sources, may have thyroid hormone derangements..............Withdrawal from fluoride sources along with measures to correct the thyroid hormonal status may be necessary to promote better health".
