氟錠是什麼?怎麼吃才好呢?What's fluoride tablets? What's the recommended instructions for use?
額外補充氟錠可以降低蛀牙的機率。
氟錠應妥善保存於孩童無法自行取得的地方,食用時可儘量提高與口內牙齒的接觸時間與面積。
但是補充氟錠前應先向牙醫師諮詢,考量:
▲ 飲水內的含氟濃度
▲ 額外的飲食攝入
▲ 含氟牙膏的使用量
▲ 蛀牙風險評估
等等因素,再決定是否使用。
在飲水未加氟的地方,例如:台灣,3歲至6歲的孩童,每天使用0.50mg。
若是居住地區飲水內有含氟,或您不確定是否含氟,請向您的牙醫師先行諮詢。
Taking fluoride supplements can reduce the risk of tooth decay.
Fluoride tablets should be stored away from children's reach and when taking them, it's recommended to increase the contact time and maximize exposure to the teeth surface.
Please consult your dentist before taking fluoride supplements with considerations including
- the fluoride concentration level in drinking water
- additional consumption
- the amount of fluoridated toothpaste used
- caries-risk assessment
In countries where fluoride is not added in drinking water, ie. Taiwan, the recommended daily consumption is 0.50mg for children aged between 3 to 6 years. In countries where fluoride is added, or if you are unsure, please consult your dentist first.
