Accidental toothpaste ingestion poses a low risk of systemic toxicity, though high fluoride concentrations can increase dental fluorosis risk. Safe usage promotion is vital, especially for children.
Area of Science:
- Oral Health
- Toxicology
- Systematic Review
Background:
- Toothpaste ingestion, particularly accidental, is a concern, especially in pediatric populations.
- Understanding the sequelae of toothpaste ingestion is crucial for public health and clinical practice.
Conclusions:
- Emphasize safe toothpaste use, particularly for children prone to ingestion.
- Public health initiatives should raise awareness of appropriate usage and potential risks.
- Consider revising guidelines for active ingredient concentrations in oral care products.
