Prevention of tooth decay
Fluoride, in proper dosage, has been shown to significantly reduce dental decay.
When fluoridated water has less than the ideal amount or is not available,
fluoride supplements are recommended. (A call to your local water district
is all that is necessary to determine whether your water has fluoride or not.)
When supplements are needed, the administration of fluoride supplements should
begin shortly after birth and continue through the time of eruption of the
second permanent molars (approx. 12 years of age).
