Hábitos y frecuencia en la ingesta de alimentos que contengan flúor, calcio y fósforo en niños de 2 a 5 años de edad de la ciudad de villavicencio meta

Abstract

The excess ingestion of fluoride culminates in the appearance of stains on the teeth, called dental fluorosis and with different degrees of affectation; therefore, if the amount of fluoride is used in a suitable way, this situation could be avoided. What has not yet been faithfully quantified is the safe dose of fluorides for children in specific stages of dental formation, so that they do not develop fluorosis in the face of the innumerable industrialized foods introduced into the diet of these children. The diet and the intake of industrialized foods will be analyzed through a questionnaire in children from 2 to 5 years of age from the city of Villavicencio.
