The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced its recommendation against the use of fluoride supplements for children under age three or any child at low or moderate risk for tooth decay.
Both the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) and American Dental Association (ADA) released statements in response. Thanks to the AAPD for this clarification: “The FDA does not have regulatory authority over traditional supplements, like multivitamins. These types of products containing fluoride will remain available.”
