Development of a standardized method for comparing fluoride ingested from toothpaste by 1.5‐3.5‐year‐old children in seven European countries. Part 2: Ingestion results

Abstract

The amount of fluoride ingested that is likely to be a risk factor for the development of dental fluorosis during tooth formation is equivocal and was found to vary widely between European countries. There appears to be a need for clearer health messages regarding the use of fluoridated toothpaste by young children.
