Overwhelming evidence by the American Dental Association, US Center for Disease Control, and World Health organization has demonstrated that Fluoride has been shown to dramatically decrease the chance of getting cavities.

Have your pediatric dentist evaluate the fluoride level of your child's primary source of drinking water. If your child is not getting enough fluoride internally through water (especially if the fluoride level is deficient or if your child drinks bottled water without fluoride), then your pediatric dentist may prescribe fluoride supplements.

No. As pointed out by a growing number of dental researchers, fluoride supplements are unnecessary, ineffective, and much more likely to give your child dental fluorosis than to spare them a cavity. Fluoride Supplements are Unnecessary: A vast body of dental research now indicates that there is no need to swallow fluoride at all - whether at a young or old age. This is because fluoride's purported 'benefit' to teeth comes primarily from topical application, and not from ingestion. See similar questions...

Your dentist is aware of the fluoride levels in the water in your area. He or she will try to estimate your child's total fluoride intake and risk of cavities before prescribing fluoride supplementation. Supplementation, in liquid or chewable format, has proven useful in protecting patients at high risk of cavities or living in areas with high rates of cavities. Whatever your dentist decides, he or she will discuss any treatment option with you. See similar questions...

If you live in an area where the water system is fluoridated, you don't need to use a fluoride supplement. If you live in a community without fluoridated water, supplements should be used. You can find the fluoride content in your water supply by contacting your water company. When teeth are developing in a growing child, fluoride (either as supplements or from the water) will be incorporated in the forming tooth structure, making it stronger and more resistant to decay.

Yes. The American Dental Association continues to support the optimal level of fluoride in drinking water as 0.7 - 1.2 parts per million (ppm). Nursery Waters has a level up to 0.7 parts per million - well within ADA recommendations. This means that when your child is drinking Nursery Water, you can be confident that your child is getting the right level of fluoride. See similar questions...

Nursery® Water is NOT a fluoride supplement. Consult your physician if using other fluoridated products and consult your dental professional for appropriate oral hygiene practices. Federal regulations allow products to be labeled as "sodium free" if the level of sodium is less than 5 milligrams per Liter in an 8 ounce serving. The level of sodium in Nursery® Water falls below this level. See similar questions...

Fluoride seems almost ubiquitous in today’s environment. If however, you live in an area where the water is non-fluoridated (well-water), then supplemental fluoride should be prescribed for the child. Consult your dentist or physician for a prescription and appropriate dosage. If your water supply is fluoridated, then you do not require supplemental fluoride for your child.

Fluoride makes teeth stronger and more resistant to cavities. Children who drink fluoridated water from birth can greatly reduce cavities. If your water does not have enough fluoride, your pediatrician or dentist may recommend fluoride drops or tablets for your child. If you have questions about fluoride, ask your pediatrician or dentist. Or call your local water district to determine whether your water supply contains fluoride. See similar questions...

If you do not reside in a community that has fluoridated water or have the appropriate amount of natural fluoride in your well water, your child will need some sort of supplement in their diet.

Yes. Fluoride has been proven to reduce dental decay by at least 40%, so all children should be encouraged to use a fluoride toothpaste. Fluoride may be in your drinking water, so check with your dentist first. Research has shown that children living in a non-fluoridated area have more dental decay than those living in areas with fluoride in the drinking water. It is important to use only a small pea-sized amount of toothpaste for children, as they are likely to swallow some of it. See similar questions...

If you are on a public water supply or community well, find out if there is fluoride in the water and what amount. 1ppm is ideal. If not, then daily supplements are recommended from birth until 12 years old. Please note that sometimes a child gets fluoride from the water supply at day care, or school, or grandma’s house. Too much fluoride can make teeth become yellow brown in color. This is called dental flourosis. See similar questions...
