“…Furthermore, LC50 values more than 90 % were shown in three child dentifrices, but a similar level has not been shown for fibroblasts when stimulated with adult dentifrices. Consequently, it appears to be essential to ensure that children do not use dentifrices from their parents [5] and rinsing the mouth with a small amount of water after tooth brushing might be beneficial for children with known sensitive mucosa.…”

“…Consequently, parents ideally supervise their children’s tooth brushing or brush their teeth when they are very young. This is also important since young children ingest up to 65 % of the toothpaste [4, 5] due to a not-yet mature swallowing reflex [6]. Despite the recommendations to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for one tooth-brushing event, parents may use a larger amount [3].…”

“…Despite the recommendations to use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste for one tooth-brushing event, parents may use a larger amount [3]. The need for special child dentifrices is further supported by the fact that a majority of mothers use the same toothpaste for their children as for themselves [5]. Furthermore, it is shown that brushing time is prolonged when the dentifrices is good tasting and a pleasant consistency [7].…”

ObjectivesChild dentifrices vary in their composition, with possible differential impacts on cells in the oral soft tissue. While cytotoxicity studies have been performed on adult dentifrices, no respective studies have thus far been reported on child dentifrices.Material and methodsSeventeen commercial dentifrices for children up to 12 years of age were evaluated with respect to their in vitro cytotoxicity on gingival fibroblasts, oral squamous cell carcinoma HSC-2 cells, and L929 mouse fibroblasts. Proliferation was analyzed and live-dead staining was performed.ResultsTen child dentifrices greatly reduced cell viability with LC50 values below 5 %. Four dentifrices showed a moderate cytotoxicity with LC50 values between 5 and 20 %. Three child dentifrices showed almost no cytotoxicity with LC50 values above 95 %. The results of the assays for proliferation and live-dead staining supported these findings.ConclusionsThe different composition of the child dentifrices translated into a broad spectrum of in vitro cytotoxicity on cells of the oral cavity.Clinical relevanceThe in vitro data provide the scientific foundation for further in vivo research testing the clinical relevance of the present findings.

“…A literatura deixa claro que os pais conhecem amplamente os benefícios do flúor na proteção dos dentes contra a cárie dentária. No entanto, o conhecimento sobre a relação de excesso de fluoretos e fluorose dentária entre os pais é pouco difundido [16][17][18] . Somado a isso, os pais parecem ter dificuldades durante a escolha do produto, devido à grande variedade de dentifrícios exclusivos para crianças no mercado 19 .…”

BACKGROUND A variety of toothpastes are available in the market, however proper knowledge and choice of fluoride toothpastes to be used is important in children for better oral health care. Parents especially mothers should be aware of type, frequency and quantity of toothpastes which has to be used by children. METHODS This is a cross sectional questionnaire-based study conducted randomly among mothers of preschool children of both sexes in the 3-5 years age group who visited different private dental clinics in Srinagar city (Kashmir J & K). 10 self-administered questions were used for interviewing mothers that included frequency of tooth brushing by their child, use and knowledge of fluoride toothpaste by their children. RESULTS Overall knowledge with regard to recommended fluoride concentration in the child's toothpaste among mothers was found to be less. 96% of the mothers did not know the advantages and disadvantages of fluoride. And overall poor knowledge was found among mothers regarding the toothpaste use for their children. CONCLUSIONS Based on the findings of this study, it shows that there is lack of awareness regarding dental health issue among parents. Emphasis should be made towards educating the mothers regarding importance of oral hygiene practices.
