Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Breast milk contains very little fluoride, but the American Dental Association recommends starting fluoride supplements at 6 months of age only for infants who do not receive an adequate amount of fluoride from other sources, such as fluoridated water or fluoride drops/pills. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider or dentist before starting any supplements.
