The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is preparing to remove all ingestible fluoride supplements —such as tablets and drops used by young children to prevent tooth decay—from the U.S. market.
The ADA submitted formal comments urging the FDA to retain access to these clinically supported products. We need your voice, too.
Deadline to Submit a Comment:
Wednesday, July 16 at 11:59 p.m. ET
Public Meeting: July 23 | Register to attend virtually or in person.
These supplements are vital for children in communities without access to fluoridated water or where topical applications are insufficient. The prohibition of these products would particularly harm at-risk pediatric patients.
To help, the ADA is providing you:
– Link to Our official comment letter
– A template you can submit in under five minutes
– Link to register for the FDA’s public meeting on July 23
We urge you to act swiftly and encourage your colleagues, staff, and patients to take action, too. This is a critical opportunity for the dental profession to be heard before access to a valuable caries-prevention tool is lost.
