Fluoride toothpastes of different concentrations for preventing dental caries

This Cochrane Review supports the benefits of using fluoride toothpaste in preventing caries when compared to non-fluoride toothpaste. Evidence for the effects of different fluoride concentrations is more limited, but a dose-response effect was observed for D(M)FS in children and adolescents.

The choice of fluoride toothpaste concentration for young children should be balanced against the risk of fluorosis.
