Through 3 pregnancies in NC, I was on well water.  My doctor prescribed floride drops for me to help each baby's teeth buds develop in utero and floride drops for each baby after birth, until we could get on 'city' water. We were pretty poor, but the cost was low. My children, in spite of many sweets and lackluster brushing after early childhood, had no cavities. Recently, I noticed the same drops  at my pharmacy here. With the children's health insurance program, cannot parents get the needed flouride through prescription?
