Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the daily alimentary fluoride intake analyzing duplicate samples of food and beverages in preschool children. An attempt was made to calculate the daily intake fluoride from food and swallowed toothpaste.

Daily fluoride intake from food reached the threshold for the safe fluoride intake. When adding the potential fluoride intake from swallowed toothpaste, alimentary fluoride intake reached the optimum range.
