Advice to Doctor : Treat symptomatically. Symptoms of fluoride overexposure may include salivation, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, laboured breathing. Fluoride ion can reduce serum calcium levels possibly causing fatal hypocalcemia. Prolonged exposure to fluoride dusts, vapours or mists results in perforation of the nasal septum. Chronic effects include excessive calcium precipitation by the fluoride ion in the bones, ligaments and tendons.
