Explanation of Your Fluoride Reading

If your lab results are:

*<.2 - .29 ppm**    These results show a very small amount of fluoride. This level is not high enough to help protect your child(ren)’s teeth against decay.

The Office of Dental Health recommends that you consult with your family dentist or physician to obtain a prescription for fluoride drops or tablets for your child(ren).

.3 - .7 ppm   These results show that some fluoride is present, but it may not be enough to protect your child’s teeth against decay.

If your child is two years old and under, this level should be enough to protect your child’s teeth against decay. You are advised to see your family dentist or physician to confirm this.

If your child is over two years old, you are advised to see your family dentist or physician to obtain propert dose of fluoride drops or tablets for your child.

.7 ppm or higher These results show a level of fluoride that is high enough to help protect you and your child(ren) against tooth decay.***

The Office of Dental Health recommends that you consult with your family dentist or physician about this result, especially if your child is two years old and under.
