Pediatricians Want Parents to Use THIS Deadly Chemical on Infants - Top US World News | Susanne Posel Daily Headlines and Research
The American Academy of Pediatricians (AAP) suggested
that fluoride-ridden toothpaste should be used on infants as soon as
teeth begin to appear; as well as using “a smear (the size of a grain of
rice) of toothpaste” with fluoride on children up to 3 years old.
The report concludes that “Fluoride has both risks and benefits for
children, and pediatricians must be aware of these to promote their
patients’ oral health.”
Several months ago, the American Dental Association (ADA) is recommending that children use toothpaste with fluoride as soon as their first tooth appears to “help prevent cavities”.
This statement claims to combat fluorosis and discoloration of teeth by increasing the use of fluoride.
The ADA said that parents should smear the fluoride-laced toothpaste
directly onto the gums of their children ages 3 and older as one
suggestion in a new set of guidelines that are designed to ensure more
children are exposed to fluoride at a younger age.
