Fluorosis and Caries Experience Following Early PostNatal Fluoride Supplementation: A Report of 19 Cases. A study of 19 cases of early post-natal supplementation at levels of O.5 and 1.0 mg of fluoride per day has shown a greater prevalence and severity of very mild tIuorosis among those also consuming optimally tluoridated water. Fluorosis was less prevalent among those consuming suboptimally fluoridated water. The authors support the current dosage recommendations of the Council of Dental Theraputics of the American Dental Association, following determination of the fluoride content of the water supply regularly consumed by the child. Pedodontists using these recommendations for their patients are encouraged to report the subsequent den tal sta tus of their pa tien ts in order that a pool of clinical data may be developed and the efficacy and safety of the recommendations thereby be established.
