They say hold off on giving children fluoride until they are 2 or 3 but I say that is just too young too. In fact I think that flouride is unneccisary quite frankly. It is a carcinogen that I think in the long run does more harm than good. I don’t think that there is any real reason why we should be brushing with flouride – it is the way you brush not what you are brushing with most of the time.
