Assessing fluoride concentrations of juices and juice-flavored drinks
Article Abstract:
Dentists should ask parents how much fruit juice their children drink before prescribing fluoride supplements. An analysis of 532 fruit juices and fruit-flavored drinks available commercially found that the fluoride content ranged from 0.02 to 2.80 parts per million (ppm). The amount recommended by dentists to reduce the risk of cavities is 0.30 to 0.60 ppm. Forty-three percent of the drinks had fluoride concentrations above 0.60 ppm and 19% had concentrations over 1.0 ppm. Drinks with white or red grape juice had the highest fluoride concentrations.
