Physical Examination of Your Child



 

One more reason why many children have fluorosis or white spots in their teeth. Children with signs of fluorosis should reduce their fluoride intake. Their parents should discuss it with their primary care physician. Pregnant moms should not take fluoride since it is not an essential nutrient or substance for the fetus. It might even harm their future baby.
