Fluorosis can happen if you ingest too much fluoride over a long period of time. Dental fluorosis causes tooth discoloration. You can correct it with cosmetic treatment. Skeletal fluorosis affects your bones and joints. It can cause pain, stiffness and bone deformities. Treatment involves removing the source of fluoride and managing symptoms.

From the same article:
In the United States, many areas have water with fluoride levels below 0.7 mg/L. That’s why so many local governments add it to the drinking water. But in other regions of the world, like parts of Asia and Africa, natural groundwater contains excessive amounts of fluoride. In India, the average concentration in drinking water is around 2.37 mg/L, and the highest recorded level is 9.22 mg/L. People living in these areas are far more likely to develop fluorosis compared to people living in the U.S

Confirmation bias is real; I can find any number of articles that say so.
