title: [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.
