Many years ago, scientists discovered that children born and raised in areas with naturally fluoridated drinking water had fewer cavities than those in other regions. Fluoride absorbed by the body during tooth formation—from a mother’s pregnancy to early childhood—integrates into the enamel structure, making it stronger.

Benefits of Fluoride:

• Strengthens Enamel: Fluoride in toothpaste, mouthwash, or treatments applied by your dentist strengthens tooth enamel even after teeth have erupted.

• Reduces Tooth Decay: Regular exposure to fluoride helps reduce the risk of tooth decay.

What If Your Drinking Water Lacks Fluoride? If you live in an area without fluoridated drinking water, consult your pediatric dentist and physician about fluoride tablets available for children. These supplements can help ensure your child's teeth receive the fluoride they need to stay strong and healthy.
