    Some researchers have explored giving fluoride to pregnant women to see if their children get fewer cavities. But more research is needed. Talk to your doctor if you plan to become pregnant or to nurse a baby while using prescription fluoride. It is safe to nurse or become pregnant while drinking from a community water supply that has fluoride in it.
