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

  1. Fluoride tablets

  2. Fluoride lozenges

  3. Fluoride drops

  4. Fluoride mouth rinse

The correct answer is: Fluoride drops

Children under 3 years old who do not have access to fluoridated water may benefit from fluoride drops. Fluoride drops are recommended by healthcare providers in areas where the water supply lacks fluoride or in cases where children are at high risk for tooth decay. Fluoride drops can help strengthen the teeth and prevent cavities in young children. It is important to use the appropriate dosage as recommended by a healthcare professional to ensure the child receives the right amount of fluoride for optimal dental health. Fluoride tablets, lozenges, and mouth rinse are not typically recommended for children under 3 years old due to the risk of swallowing and potential toxicity issues. Fluoride drops are specifically formulated for young children and are a safer and more effective option in this age group.
