Abstract

Physicians in a Vermont family practice setting tend not to be very familiar with CDC/AAP/AAD recommendations regarding fluoride, especially when it came to rural areas in Vermont not on town or public water. Questions include: What are the pros and cons of fluoride supplementation? What are the indications for supplementation? How does one go about testing their well water? Which towns have fluoridated water, and what are their levels? What doses are recommended, and what options are there for treatment?
