| Question How much fluoride should I give my child?
| Answer Given at optimal levels, fluoride can strengthen teeth and help prevent tooth decay. The correct amount of fluoride to give your child depends upon his or her age and whether or not the local water contains fluoride. Your dentist is the best person to advise you on the amount of fluoride needed to meet your child’s needs.
See http://www.ada.org.au/OralHealth/flnfront.aspx for more detailed information on fluoride and water fluoridation.
