Its primary benefits occur after teeth erupt, by strengthening enamel and preventing tooth decay. https://www.sproutpediatricdentistry.com/blog/pediatric-dentistry/babies-and-fluoride/ https://www.healthychildren.org/English/healthy-living/oral-health/Pages/FAQ-Fluoride-and-Children.aspx https://smilingkidsnoblesville.com/the-pros-and-cons-of-fluoride-for-childrens-dental-health/ https://www.stanfordchildrens.org/en/topic/default?id=fluoride-and-children-90-P01853
