What supplement should a child over 3 years old without fluoridated water have?

  1. Fluoride tablets or lozenges

  2. Fluoride drops

  3. Fluoride mouth rinse

  4. No supplement

The correct answer is: Fluoride tablets or lozenges

A child over 3 years old without fluoridated water should take fluoride tablets or lozenges as a supplement. Option B, fluoride drops, are typically recommended for infants and young children under 3 years old. Option C, fluoride mouth rinse, may have safety concerns for young children if accidentally swallowed. Option D, no supplement, would result in a lack of fluoride intake and therefore increase the risk of tooth decay.
