Oral Conditions - January 2007 (Peds in Review)

Fluoride - 2003 (Peds in Review)
Since recognition of the association between fluoride and reduced risk of dental caries, the sources of fluoride in the diet have expanded substantially, and understanding of fluoride's effects has evolved.

Fluoride Supplementation and Dental Caries - 2002
(Peds in Review)
Whether prenatal fluoride supplementation could decrease the risk of caries in offspring has been controversial for a number of years. Even the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) became concerned early on that manufacturers of fluoride supplements were claiming unsubstantiated effects for prenatal fluoride.
Consultation with the Specialist: Dental Care - 2001
(Peds in Review)
Dental care for children often is an underrecognized responsibility for new parents. Health care practitioners need to inform parents of the appropriate measures to care for their children's teeth until the children can clean them effectively.
