Fluoride & Children: What You Need to Know
When Should My Child Brush with Fluoride?
Starting at age 2, your child can start brushing with fluoride toothpastes. Start with a very small amount and eventually work up to a 'pea-sized' dollop on their brush.
Why Would My Child Need Fluoride?
Low levels of fluoride protect tooth enamel and prevent cavities. The majority of drinking water in the United States has been fluorinated as a public service.
Causes of Tooth Decay and Cavities in Kids
Cavities are extremely common for children. Luckily, your child's teeth are protected with brushing and fluoride, so they avoid most decay. But several other factors can cause cavities to develop on your kid's teeth:
Immature permanent tooth enamel, High-sugar diets, Low priority for proper brushing and flossing and not seeking routine, professional preventative dental care.
