Is Baby Water with Fluoride Safe for Infants?

In a recent British survey, moms confessed to spending more than $7,000 by the time their child had his or her first birthday. This statistic illustrates just how far new parents are willing to go to ensure children are taken care of well. But what if the products new parents invest in are actually harmful? That question is being raised as US Court of Appeals agrees to hear oral arguments in the Nemphos vs. Nestle case. Ms. Nemphos alleges her daughter developed fluorosis from being exposed to a special type of high-fluoride bottled water that Nestle markets as being particularly beneficial in helping children develop strong teeth. Fluorosis is a permanent discoloration of tooth enamel, and Ms. Nemphos aims to recover damages to compensate her for the cost of treating the condition. Visit the Miami Dentist Blog to read more on this case as it evolves.

Is Baby Water with Fluoride Safe for Infants?

Fluoridated water is allegedly good for teeth. However, the US government has recently warned that fluoride levels might be too high for public water (source: Wall Street Journal). Backed by a strong fluoride-free grassroots lobby, holistic dentists from across America are speaking out against the dangers of fluoridated water. The fluoride debate has garnered greater attention recently after the US Court of Appeals agreed to hear oral arguments in the Nymphos vs. Nestle case. Ms Nymphos claims Nestle is responsible for her daughter’s permanently discolored teeth (a condition known as fluorosis). Ms. Nymphos alleges her daughter developed fluorosis after drinking Nestle Baby water for many years, a product the company openly markets as a highly fluoridated water designed to improve children’s teeth and oral health.
