There is generally accepted view about the usefulness and necessity of fluoride in dental caries prevention. This article presents assessment of potential neurotoxic effects of increased fluoride intake and informs that such alterations might be due to the long-term consumption of mineral waters.

Keywords: fluoride, neurotoxicity, brain, mental disturbances
