In December, 2010, the ADA published new clinical recommendations on the prescription of dietary fluoride supplements.
Due to known increases in exposure to multiple fluoride sources, the panel now recommends the prescription of dietary fluoride supplements only for children who are at high risk for developing cavities and whose primary source of drinking water is deficient in fluoride. Our practice evaluates each patient for their unique cavity risk by using the American Academy of Pediatric Cavity-Risk Assessment Test.
