Who should take Fluoride Supplements?
If you live in a community without fluoridated water, or if you drink only bottled water, your family may not be getting enough fluoride protection. In these situations, children can benefit from fluoride supplements. You can find out the fluoride concentration of your drinking water by calling your water supplier or health department. If it is below 0.6 ppm (parts per million), ask your dentist or pediatrician about fluoride supplements at your next visit. With fluoride you can make sure everyone in your family enjoys strong, healthy teeth – for life.
