Multivitamins with fluoride are used as a supplement to the diet of infants and children who do not receive adequate fluoride through drinking water. Multivitamins with fluoride are also used to prevent tooth decay in people treated with radiation, which may cause dryness of the mouth and increased risk of tooth decay.
