Abstract: Proper dosage of dietary fluoride supplements is important for children without access to optimally fluoridated water to balance dental caries prevention and risks of dental fluorosis. Subsequent to water fluoride assay, compliance by physicians and dentists with the recommended dietary fluoride supplement dosage schedule was determined for 446 children. Approximately one third of child patients and 42% of siblings did not receive the recommended supplement dosage.
