What is the lowest level of Fluoride in drinking water that will cause enamel mottling?

1.0 ppm
2.0 ppm
3.0 ppm
4.0 ppm

The correct answer is: 3.0 ppm

The lowest level of fluoride in drinking water that can cause enamel mottling is 3.0 ppm. This is because fluoride naturally occurs in water and when consumed in excess, can cause cosmetic changes in the tooth's enamel. Options A, B, and D are incorrect because the higher concentrations of fluoride in those levels can lead to more severe dental fluorosis, a condition that affects the appearance and strength of teeth. While low levels of fluoride can have positive effects on dental health, it is important to monitor and regulate the concentration in drinking water to prevent any adverse effects.
