Fluoride supplements while pregnant?
I am 7 weeks pregnant and don't drink the tap water here in HK mainly because I don't really like the taste. We have a Bonaqua water dispenser in our kitchen, so I mainly drink that and other bottled water.
I've recently discovered that Bonaqua water doesn't have fluoride, which is essential for teeth and bone development in unborn babies. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about taking fluoride supplements while pregnant?
I plan to ask my Doctor about this when I see him next week but just thought I'd see if anyone had any info on this topic in the meantime.
Thanks!
