Hi parents!
Are you giving your children vitamin supplements?
Do you know any vitamin supplement that can strengthen a child's teeth?
My 2 year old son has been drinking Cherifer multivitamins since he was an infant but recently I noticed that his teeth are developing cavities. He brushes his teeth regularly still why the cavities?Thanks..

I give my children USAminal for multivitamin. But, as my kids when they were baby, my doctor prescribe them multi-vitamin drop which contain fluoride. I beieve you can't buy them from counter, you must get them from either family doctor or dentist. Hope this helps!

Is it true that excessive intake of flouride is not good for kids? Oh now I'm torn.. Our appointment with the pediatrician is next month, I may have to wait until then. Thanks for the reply!

Anythnig with fluoride. Ask your pediatricia about a vitamin supplement (drops) with A,D,F and fluoride. They prescribe this specially in those states that there isn't alot of fluoride in tap water. Also give him nursery water, it has fluoride too.

Ok thanks. The ttothpast my 2 year old uses doesn't have flouride because it was recommended by the pediatrician. Our appointment with her will be next month so I guess I'll have to wait until then. Thanks!
