According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “Many communities adjust the fluoride concentration in the water supply to a level known to reduce tooth decay and promote good oral health (often called the optimal level). This practice is known as community water fluoridation and reaches all people who drink that water. If you want to learn more about fluoride see us at a friendly place for kids near me.
In the United States, the current recommendations are for local authorities to adjust the local water supply to a level of 0.7 milligrams per liter. Fluoride additives are used to bring the level to the optimum level proven to help prevent caries while minimizing the risk of fluorosis. Dental fluorosis is defined as mottling of teeth caused by excessive intake of fluoride compounds.
Systematic fluoride can be delivered through drops, tablets, and community public water supplies. Dental providers must take into consideration the patient’s risk level of developing caries, dental status, compliance, and patient preference when using fluoride treatments in office and when making recommendations for home use. if you would like to join our ToothTown Family and brighten your child's smile, you can give us a call at (561)333-4568 or visit our website at www.mytoothtown.com to schedule your appointment.
