Fluoride and Your Child's Health

Fluoride is a substance that helps teeth become stronger and resistant to decay. Drinking water treated with fluoride and regular brushing and flossing lowers the risk of cavities.

Dentists can evaluate the level of fluoride in a primary drinking water source and recommend fluoride supplements (usually in the form of tablets or drops), if necessary.
