Parents’ attitudes towards topical fluoride and vaccines for children: Are these distinct or overlapping phenomena?
5. Conclusion In identifying how fluoride- and vaccine-related attitudes and behaviors overlap, but are associated with vaccine—but not fluoride—refusal, our study highlights the need for specialized research on the complex behavioral and social factors associated with refusal of preventive dental care. First, there is a need for detailed qualitative research to better understand why caregivers […]

Parent refusal of topical fluoride for their children: clinical strategies and future research priorities to improve evidence-based pediatric dental practice.
Reasons for Topical Fluoride Refusal The origins of fluoride refusal in the U.S. are traced back to water fluoridation opposition by the John Birch Society during the Soviet era.22 As such, most relevant studies in the dental literature focus on community resistant to water fluoridation, for which limited knowledge and risk-benefit misperceptions are the main […]

Association Between Water Fluoridation and Income-Related Dental Caries of US Children and Adolescents.
This cohort study examines the incidence of dental caries in children and adolescents of varying income levels living in areas with vs without water fluoridation. By age 11 years, an American child living in poverty has twice the level of dental caries (tooth decay) as one living at 3 times the poverty threshold.1 To achieve […]
