But even as critics point to fluoride supplements as an alternative along with fluoride toothpaste, rinses and varnishes many are creating barriers to these same products.
Under U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.s oversight, the Food and Drug Administration said it issued notices to four businesses about their ingestible fluoride supplements for children and also put out new guidance for health professionals.
In Texas, Attorney General Ken Paxton launched investigations into two large companies over their marketing of fluoride toothpaste to parents and children.
And changes to Medicaid in President Donald Trumps so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act threaten to make it harder than it already is for the most vulnerable people to access any oral health care at all, let alone fluoride treatments at a dentists office.

(3,860 posts)Foe years, our dental insurance paid for fluroide treatments for our kids under 18 but not for the adults in the family. So, I paid out of pocket for a preventive measure that not prevents future cavities but helps existing dental work to last longer which both lower long term costs for dental insurance.
