A 42-year-old member asked:
Is there a liquid multi-vitamin with fluoride for infants that tastes ok? the one we bought at the pharmacy smells strange and tastes bad too.

Ask your pharmacist: Talk to your pharmaist about other brands. I have found that using generic formulas often have this result and ask patients not to get generic Fluoride supplements because of taste.

Depends: There are different formulas however, you may not like the smell or taste but your infant may not mind it. I would not give any Fluoride to an infant under 6 months.

Don't self-medicate. Need for fluoride supplement depends on fluoride level in your drinking water. Before giving child anything, go see Dentist. ALL CHILDREN should have n1st dental appt at eruption of 1st baby tooth but not later than 1st b'day. Recommend you see pediatric dental specialist, a Pedodontist for all the same reasons you see a pediatric medical specialist,
