Revised recommendations about the use of fluoride
Abstract
At the end of 1989 the organisation for dental health education in The Netherlands 'Ivoren Kruis' presented new recommendations about the use of fluorides. The advice was based on a report of an expert committee and was put in a definite form in consultation with representatives of a number of dental and medical professional organisations. For children below the age of five a toothpaste with 250 ppm F- is recommended. Fluoride tablets (with 0.25 mg F-) are recommended for children below the age of 12. The advised number of fluoride tablets is reduced compared with the former recommendations.
