Fluoride drops aren't necessary, but they can help keep your child's teeth safe.
Incorporating fluoride into the tooth structure is a highly effective method of preventing tooth decay. However, it’s important to check with your child’s pediatrician or dentist about the age and dosage of fluoride supplementation.
Too much fluoride can cause fluorosis on your child's adult teeth before they erupt. Fluorosis won't harm your child's health, but they'll have streaks or spots on their teeth. Fluorosis can often be reversed by a dental professional.
