A condition, not previously reported, suggesting a threshold degree of dental fluorosis has been observed in the inhabitants of the South Atlantic island of Tristan da Cunha. Out of 3907 permanent teeth, 629 or 15.8 per cent were affected with "white spots" in the enamel, being most frequent in the younger individuals. Out of 765 deciduous teeth, 77 or 10 per cent were affected. The anterior teeth while remarkable free from dental caries, were most frequently affected with white spots in the enamel.
