[quote=Anonymous]My kids also drink bottled water at home. My dentist recommended fluoride drops. The pediatrician agreed, but neither of them knew of a preparation that does not also include a multivitamin. I did my own research using a drug database and the pediatrician wrote a script for that. It is supposed to be administered daily, but I am afraid of damaging the kids' teeth and brains with a too-high dose, so I just give it to them maybe twice a week. They also use fluoride toothpaste. The tap water where we live in DC tastes vile. For that reason, and because of the heightened lead content a few years ago, I don't trust it. I would do a house-wide reverse osmosis filter if I had time and knew we'd be living here a while, but I don't think the standard Brita filters are effective enough.[/quote]
