Fluoride supplementation in the form of medication is automatic in infants, when other sources of intake (through drinking water) are absent or insufficient. It is necessary that it is adapted to the age of the child, but also to the other potential sources such as drinking water or mineral water, fluoridated toothpastes... in order to avoid an overdose
Moreover, in case of medicated fluoride supplementation, mineralized water containing a fluoride level higher than 0.3 mg/L should not be used to prepare baby bottles
It is also important to take into account the total doses of vitamin D, especially in combination with a treatment formulated with this vitamin.
