We do; fluoride tablets are common.

Brushing your teeth does a lot of things besides applying fluoride to the surface. It's mostly about getting stuff that's already there off the surface.

My initial searches suggest that these are by prescription only. Do you have any information to the contrary? I did find toothpaste tablets, but those are meant to be used as toothpaste from what I can tell.

    No, I don't. Does that matter?

    • This is not a one a day pill then. If ingesting it is regulated, that would be consistent with it not being something regular people should ingest regularly.
