I didn't give my child vitamin d neither fluor she is now one year and a half. is this gonna have any effect on her?

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Usually drinking water is the source of fluoride. The drinking water in Lebanon has less than 0.3 ppm of fluoride so it's recommended to start fluoride supplements as of the age of 6 months. Vitamin D is started since birth especially that recent studies in our population revealed significant Vit D deficiency. I recommend that you start your child on a vitamin formula with vitamin D and fluoride and don't worry if you haven't started earlier. Make sure she consumes enough dairy products and brushes her teeth under your supervision.
