fluoride supplements?

[Singingmom]

We have well water, so my pediatrician has prescribed fluoride drops and tablets for my kids. I want them to have strong teeth, but I've read a few things recently that have made me uncomfortable about giving them fluoride. Do you know of any websites with good research or do you have an opinion to share? Thanks! :mrgreen

I will look for you, we also give our children flouride, it is in a prescription vitamin. We have no flouride in the water here.

we have decided to not give our children flouride. Here is an article.

Natural flourides are found in cherries.

My kids are on a flouride supplement. They seem to have inherited their dad's weak teeth, and the flouride helps him. Since he's had 4 root canals and 3 crowns this YEAR already, I'm all for protecting their teeth as much as we can. :)

We dont' do fluoride. It is a toxin and I don't think it necessary.

As far as I know, Flouride is a Cockroach poison!
So we stear clear of it.
I'd be more inclined toward a good water filtration system if that is the issue.
I would also make sure that your diet included plenty of vitamins and minerals in the foods you eat that assist with good strong teeth.
Don't know any websites though. :neutral
