TOOTHPASTE AS A SOURCE OF SYSTEMIC FLUORIDE INTAKE
https://doi.org/10.15690/vsp.v11i2.214
Abstract
Fluoride-containing toothpaste is one of the main methods of exogenous caries prophylaxis. However in childhood when the mineralization of permanent teeth takes place, intake of redundant amount of fluorides can be associated with risk of dental fluorosis development. Thereby toothpaste can be one of the potential causes of increased fluoride-loading. When following a number of rules, usage of fluoride-containing toothpaste in children can be effective and safe.
