Who should have fluoride?

Fluoride is a really effective way of re-hardening teeth that have been exposed to foods and acids and therefore preventing tooth decay.  Anyone who has teeth and eats food could benefit from fluoride.

Fluoride is especially important for growing children.  If we can get children the proper amount of fluoride as their teeth are forming they will form harder and the child will be less likely to have cavities for the rest of their life.  Giving kids fluoride really does have a lifetime of benefits for them.  We all want our kids to grow up strong and healthy and to not have health problems later in life.  By ensuring that your child receives an appropriate amount of fluoride you are giving them a boost up on their oral health for a lifetime!
