The dental profession has been actively involved with the field of trace elements and dental disease since an early stage. In 1908 a mine chemist, F.S. McKay, suggested at a meeting of the E1 Paso (Texas) Dental Society that mottled teeth and a concomitant resistance to caries were related to a factor in drinking water. This factor was subsequently identified as fluoride, a trace element now known to be essential for calcification, growth, and fertility.
