Hi there... Certainly, flourosed teeth are much more prone for cavities, sensitivity, and chipping...because of weakened enamel...
Visit your dentist regularly for routine checkup every 6 months..
Additionally... U can use remineralising toothpaste... (Which should not contain fluoride, but other remineralising agents)
And GC tooth Mousse...(not the GC Tooth mousse PLUS Because that again contains fluoride)
Take care..!!

Hi..yes it's true that fluoride affected teeth are more prone for cavities. Brush twice daily. Visit dentist once in three months for regular check up. Use tooth mouse plus for brushing teeth for two months.

Well you can expect repeated fillings and if requited root canal as well. You can improve your teeth using Tooth Mousse Plus.
