England was explored. Zohoori et al. 2014 Total daily fluoride intake (TDFI) in infants aged months living in fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas in England was ascertained. A three-day food diary was used to estimate fluoride intake and F content was analysed using an F-ion electrode and a diffusion method. Information on toothbrushing habits was obtained through a questionnaire combined with an interview. A total of 38 infants, 19 each from fluoridated and non-fluoridated areas completed the study with a mean TDFI of 0.11 and 0.12mg/kg/bw/day, respectively.

Fluoride intake of infants from all sources was considered.
