Is fluoride in water safe for my child?
Yes. The American Dental Association (ADA) continues to support water fluoridation at the optimal range of 0.7 to 1.2 parts per million (ppm), as determined by the United States Public Health Service (USPHS). According to the ADA, infant formula can be mixed with water that is fluoride free or contains low levels of fluoride. Babies less than one year old need less fluoride than everyone else. Nursery® Water has a fluoride level of 0.7 ppm or less.
Other sources that contain fluoride, according to the ADA, are fluoride toothpaste, fluoride mouth rinse, doctor prescribed fluoride dietary supplements, or naturally occurring fluoride in drinking water.
What is the purpose of adding fluoride to purified drinking water?
Our primary purpose in adding fluoride to purified drinking water is to help strengthen teeth. Nursery® Water is purified water that is steam distilled for purity which assures you that it is safe, pure, clean and healthy. You can use Nursery® to mix formula and cereals, to dilute juices or as a pure drinking water.
While the American Dental Association (ADA) and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) discuss intake levels of fluoride in drinking water, these organizations do not sponsor, approve, certify or endorse Nursery® Water.
