What You Should Know about Fluoride

Fluoride is a natural mineral, often added to drinking water systems. It’s considered safe and can help strengthen tooth enamel, protecting teeth from decay. However, it’s possible for children to get too much fluoride.

Key takeaways:

– Fluoride toothpaste should not be swallowed; supervise young children while they learn to brush their teeth.

– Mouthwashes containing fluoride should not be given to children under six.

– A dentist may prescribe fluoride supplements for some children.

Your dentist can review your family’s fluoride needs.

“…fluoride isn’t only safe for your child’s smile, but has benefits that are hard to beat.”
