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.
