Interesting point about fluorosis mainly being a childhood thing, but I’d add that the amount and frequency of fluoride exposure still matters for adults—just in different ways. Chronic overuse can sometimes cause other issues, like increased tooth staining or even mild irritation for people with sensitive mouths. I get the habit of sticking to the cap line, but honestly, if you occasionally go a bit over, it’s not likely to do harm as long as you’re not swallowing it. I’ve actually found that swishing for less time (like 30 seconds instead of a full minute) helps if I ever feel any stinging.
