Objective: The author has analyze the daily intake foods for preschool children and children, in order to measure the daily amounts of fluoride through food or toothbrushing. 90 young preschool and 90 school children were participated in this study by recording 5 days diet diary with the help of their parents.
Methods: The average daily food intake was calculated and the fluoride amounts included in each food was examined through the past 5 reports. Fluoride amounts estimated by daily water intake and toothbrushing with dentifrice contaminated with 500 ppmF, were considered. Total amounts of daily fluoride by intake for young children and school children were estimated, in order to suggest to recommend the fluoride deficiency amount for prevention of dental caries as well as for helping growth and development.
Results: Average 167.30±2.92 μgF (0.167 mgF) was estimated for preschool children and 314.27±13.10 μgF (0.314 mgF) for school children in non-water fluoridated area. There was a significant difference in average amount of fluoride intake, between in preschool children and school children (p＜0.05).
Condulusion: 1. It was estimated that the average 167.30±2.92 μgF (0.167±0.292 mgF) in young children and 314.27±13.10 μgF (0.314±0.131 mgF) were intake through the diet, water and tooth brushing, daily, and there was significantly different the amounts intake by young children and by school children, statistically (p＜0.05). 2. It was estimated that the daily deficient amount of fluoride was 0.53 mg in young children and 1.18 mgF in school children. So, it needed some fluoride supplements for them, in order to contribute the caries prevention as well as for growth and development.
