    This article is a real public service because most people do not understand how widespread fluoride is. For adults, it is also in wine and beer and many other foods.

    Thanks for sharing this. I was really surprised to learn that food had fluoride. I knew it was in the water, but not in food. It's good to know exactly which ones. I forgot to ask our pediatric dentist about it last time we were there. Thiago | http://www.obrien-dental.com/procedures/cleanings-prevention/dental-exams-cleanings/

    I didn't know that there are foods that naturally include fluoride. My kids love drinking orange juice. I'm glad that they are getting enough fluoride, but I'm afraid that there is a possibility of them getting too much of it. I will have to be more aware of when they eat these foods and keep track of how much fluoride they are taking in.

A gap between the teeth

When your baby’s teeth first begin to come in and you notice that gap between their teeth when they smile, the family may coo that it’s cute. "However, it is very important that if your child has a gap in their teeth due to a maxillary frenum, or another reason, that it be corrected," says pediatric dentist Dr. Cameron Fuller. Your child’s education, speech and self-confidence is dependent upon it being corrected at an early age.             As your child gets older they are working on saying certain sounds. Children who are younger than five should be developing the ability to say all of the sounds. After five if these sounds are not solidified it will make it much more difficult for them to learn to correctly speak. “And by age seven if the sounds are not correct they run the risk of never being able to say them correctly,” says Dr. Cameron Fuller .
