    Journal: N Y State Dent J; 2009 Mar; 75(2):44-8. PubMed ID: 19418881.
    Abstract:
    The American Academy of Pediatric Dentist, the American Association of Pediatricians and the Centers for Disease Control have guidelines to ensure that children are not exposed to excessive amounts of fluoride. In this study, we explored parents' knowledge and behavior regarding toothpaste and oral health care for their children. A total 613 questionnaires were collected. Many of the parents surveyed were knowledgeable. However, we still have a lot of work to do in order to provide parents with sound, reliable education about the risks and benefits of fluoridated toothpaste.
