[quote=Anonymous]Has anyone done fluoride supplements? My pediatrician just prescribed them for my 15 mo and 3.5 yo because we drink spring water instead of tap water. I am not against flouride - I use fluoride toothpaste, and my 3.5 yo has gotten the fluoride varnish at the pediatrician and at her dentist. However, I feel weird about the fluoride supplement, I guess mostly because I've never heard of it or known anyone who has used it, even though it seems like a lot of people drink bottled water instead of tap water. Also, apparently my insurance doesn't cover this supplement, so it will cost us about $350 a year. Another thing is that even though we officially drink spring water, my kids love to do things like drink hose water out of the water table (I know, gross), so I feel like in the summer they are probably still getting a decent amount of fluoride that way, and I don't want to overdo it with supplements. Just wondering if anyone has experience with this.[/quote]
