Is Fluoride Safe for Kids? Your Questions Answered
We know parents have questions, and maybe even concerns about the safety and benefits of fluoride for children. On today’s episode, we’re joined by Dr. Bobby Thikkurissy and Dr. Scott Schwartz to talk all about fluoride.
We break down everything parents need to know about fluoride for kids and its impact on children’s oral health. We explore the basics of fluoride, how it helps prevent cavities and dive into concerns like whether kids can get too much and how to know if your water is fluoridated. We also cover practical tips like how much toothpaste to use at different ages, training toothpaste and what to do if you suspect fluoride toxicity. Plus, we touch on the ideal age for kids to start brushing their own teeth.
Whether you're a parent, caregiver, or just curious about pediatric dental health, this episode gets down to the tooth truth and helps ease concerns with expert-backed guidance.
