FDA has restricted this common supplement given to growing children due to major health concern
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has begun phasing out ingestible fluoride supplements meant for children, citing new safety concerns. The move, backed by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., questions long-held dental practices. While the FDA believes excess fluoride may harm gut health and brain function, dental experts warn that removing it could increase tooth decay, especially in underserved areas.
