•Environmental contamination by heavy metals has been a matter of great concern in many countries for several decades. Human exposure to such elements may cause adverse health effects and young children are particularly at risk.•Several studies have analyzed animals’ teeth to evaluate the relationship between increased fluoride exposure and dental fluorosis, however few studies have been conducted on human teeth.•The aim of the present study was to assess the reliability of human teeth matrix used as a biomarker for fluoride environmental pollution in TUNISIA, and to evaluate the relationship with place of residence, age, dental caries and sex.•We have confirmed that human teeth provide good chronological information on long term exposure, and demonstrated that the residence of living is the most important factor influencing metal concentrations.•We have highlighted the risks incurred by inhabitants who are to a great extent exposed to heavy metals in such polluted area, that remediation measures must be taken to immobilize pollutants and limit their transport to the environment. |
