Abstrakt

Tea has come to be regarded as a very popular drink, and is nowadays consumed in almost the same amounts as water. Tea has antioxidant properties, influences the organism’s antioxidant status and prevents oxidative stress. Tea constitutes a very rich fluoride source. In the paper the influence of fluorides on human organism, soft and hard dental tissues and occurrence of dental and skeletal fluorosis was discussed.
