Health Canada indicates one tablespoon of fluoridated water per day for baby is enough

1 litre (L) of water = 1000 millilitres (mL) of water

1 tablespoon of water = 15 millilitres (mL) of water

15 millilitres (mL) of water =  0.015 L of water (15 ÷1000)

artificially fluoridated water typically contains about 0.7 milligrams (mg) of fluoride per litre … that’s 0.7 mg/L

1 tablespoon of 0.7 mg/L fluoridated water contains 0.0105 mg fluoride (0.7 mg x 0.015 L)

Health Canada claims “adequate intake” of daily fluoride for babies is 0.01 mg of fluoride (10 micrograms).

 That’s one tablespoon of fluoridated water
p
er day for baby !
