One of these resources could be the teeth since part of their composition is calcium. Not only could this happen with your daughter's primary teeth, but it could also happen with the developing permanent teeth. Before giving her fluoride supplements, however, please check with your local water district to see if the drinking water in your area is fluoridated and with what dosage. I would not want your daughter to receive too much fluoride because overdosage can be harmful. The bone is the supporting structure of the teeth, and if the bone level decreases enough, tooth loss may be a possibility.
Periodontal infections can also be a result of loss of surrounding bone structure.
In addition to the fluoride, scrupulous oral hygiene practices along with regular dental visits, which include exams and radiographs, will be some of your best defenses against oral problems which could arise. If problems are detected early, it will be much easier to treat them. If so, these recommendations may be helpful for the oral tissues as well. You should not rely on this information as a substitute for personal medical attention, diagnosis or hands-on treatment. If you are concerned about your health or that of a child's, please consult your family's health care provider immediately and do not wait for a response from our professionals.
