This statement reviews the rationale for the use of fluoride supplements for infants and children. The concept of fluoridation of water supplies as an effective and cost-beneficial method of reducing caries prevalence in the general population is strongly supported. In the absence of an adequately fluoridated water supply, fluoride supplements should be given to all children. This should begin at about 2 weeks of age; the dosage will depend on the concentration of fluoride in the local water supply. Fluoride-containing dentifrices are an important source of topical fluoride, but it is essential that parents be aware of the danger of excessive fluoride intake and that they teach their children to avoid swallowing toothpaste.
本声明回顾了为婴幼儿及儿童补充氟化物的基本原理。作为一种有效且具有成本效益的降低普通人群龋齿患病率的方法，供水氟化的理念得到了大力支持。在没有充足氟化水供应的情况下，应给所有儿童补充氟化物。这应从大约2周龄开始；剂量将取决于当地供水的氟化物浓度。含氟牙膏是局部用氟的重要来源，但家长必须意识到过量摄入氟化物的危险，并教导孩子避免吞咽牙膏。
