Is it possible to get an overdose as an adult from:

Twice a day fluoride mouthwash and..
Twice a day fluoride toothpaste and..
Fluorided drinkwater?

What are the earliest signs of fluorosis?
_____________________

If you don't eat the toothpaste or drink the mouthwash, you should be
OK. Dental fluorosis occurs as the teeth are forming so an adult isn't
subject to it.

Wait a minute -- "fluriode?"

Is that like a cathode or anode?

Then electricity is involved! Millivolts, no doubt!

Fluoride from toothpaste and mouthrinses get absorbed into the body,
even if not swallowed. Early signs of fluoride toxicity are

1) aches and pain in the joints, i.e. neck, back, hip, shoulder and
knee without visible signs of fluid accumulation

2) non-ulcer dyspepsia such as nausea, vomiting, pain in the stomach,
bloated feeling or gas formation in the stomach, constipation followed
by diarrhea

3) polyuria (frequent urination) and polydipsia (excessive thirst)

4) muscle weakness, fatigue, anemia with low hemoglobin level

This according to fluoride expert Dr. Susheela of India who studies
fluoride poisoning among people living in high water fluoride areas

Hans,

Keep in mind that the absence of fluorosis does not equate with an
absence of fluoride toxicity.  So your question might be better
phrased:

"What are the earliest signs of fluoride toxicity?"
