Fluoride Supplements?

Hi,

First time pregnancy and looking for opinions on fluoride supplements.

I have terrible teeth, partly I think to my mum hating dairy so didn't get much calcium during her pregnancy. I don't love diary so I'm taking extra calcium.

My mother in law took fluoride tablets when she was pregnant with my husband, who has great teeth, not one filling. Sister in law is the same.

I'm having a look online and notice fluoride isn't really sold? Has the thinking changed on it? Would taking calcium be enough?

Plan to ask MW in four weeks but keen for opinions :)

Get your dentist to prescribe you high fluoride toothpaste. That should be sufficient

I would do some more research into Flouride, let alone taking supplements in pregnancy for it.
