Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Before getting your thyroid gland removed, you can safely take the fluoride treatment. If you have already got your thyroid gland removed,even then you can take fluoride treatment for your teeth as it is the iodine which is taken up by the thyroid gland.
