Acute Fluoride Toxicity from Ingesting Home‐use Dental Products in Children, Birth to 6 Years of Age

Abstract

Overingestion of fluoride products in the home is preventable. Dentists and other health care providers should educate parents and child care providers about the importance of keeping fluoride products out of reach of children. Manufacturers should be encouraged by the ADA and the FDA to use child-resistant packaging for all fluoride products intended for use in the home.
