CDC recommendations regarding fluo- ride supplementation are provided in Table 2. Supplements can be prescribed in liquid or tablet form. Tablets are preferable for children old enough to chew, because they gain an additional topical benefit to the teeth during the chewing process. Liquid supplements are recommended for younger children and should ideally be added to water or put directly into the child’s mouth. Addition of the fluoride supplement to milk or formula is not recommended because of the reduced absorption of fluoride in the presence of calcium.31 The risk of mild fluorosis can be mini- mized by health care providers verify- ing that there are no other sources of fluoride exposure before prescribing systemic fluoride supplements.
