What Is Fluorosis?
8. Prevention
Preventing fluorosis involves limiting the amount of fluoride that a child will ingest. This means knowing how much fluoride is in the water they are drinking, as well as other drinks such as soft drinks and fruit juices. You should also consider if any fluoride supplements are really necessary.
In addition, try and make sure that children don’t use too much toothpaste. It could also potentially make them ill if they consume too much. You should also try and encourage children to spit out the toothpaste rather than swallowing it. Remember that while you should prevent them ingesting too much fluoride, you should also make sure that they get enough.
