Fluoride plays a crucial role in strengthening kids' tooth enamel and preventing cavities. Here are some fun facts about fluoride and how it can be a secret weapon against cavities and poor oral health:
- Drinking water without fluoride, inadequate saliva floor and genetics can all mean bad news for teeth
- Treat first tooth with baby toothbrush and just enough fluoride toothpaste to color toothbrush bristles
- Dentists recommend children 6 months and older drink fluoridated tap water instead of bottled water for added tooth-strengthening benefits.
- "Training toothpastes" that do not have fluoride do not work for baby teeth
