Summary
There are controversial data about fluoride intake by children when tooth brushing with
children's or regular toothpastes. However, a study have showed that children were exposed to
a dose of 0.051 mg F/Kg/day and 0.046 mg F/kg/day by tooth brushing with children's and and
regular toothpaste, respectively. Fluorides doses were too close and is questioned if there
is a real clinical relevance in terms of risk of dental fluorosis. It is important to
evaluate if children's toothpastes does really represent a risk of fluoride intake when
compared to the regular toothpastes in terms of risk of dental fluorosis. The hypothesis is
that both children's and regular toothpastes can represente risks of development of dental
fluorosis and can represent similar fluoride exposure by children.
