What food has fluoride?





Do you know what items have fluoride in it? Read the list below to learn what sources of fluoride your child is ingesting. You might be surprised at some of the items on the list.  For more items and the amount of fluoride, you can visit Self Nutrition Data. It is important to be aware of how much fluoride is in the food your child eats because if a child gets too much fluoride it can cause fluorosis of the teeth. These are brown stains or pitting of the teeth.

  1. 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.

  2. 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/

  4. 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.
