The questionnaire was used to investigate the kinds of dentifrice used in families, the percentage of parents and children using the same dentifrice, and the rate of use of fluoride dentifrice. The subjects were 105 three-year-old children, 260 primary school children of the lower 3 grades, 231 children of the upper 3 grades, and their parents. The rate of children using the same dentifrice as their family was 15% for three-year-old children, 33% for primary school children of the lower 3 grades, and 53% for primay school children of the upper 3 grades. The rate for children using fluoride dentifrice was over 80% when they used their own dentifrice, but the rate dropped to 40-55% when they used the same dentifrice as their family. Only 6 to 17% of all the subjects and 10 to 20% of the users of fluoride dentifrice were aware that their dentifrice contained fluoride. To increase the number of users of fluoride dentifrice in the future, we suggest that more dentifrices should contain fluoride and that people should be taught the correct use of fluoride and how to correctly choose a dentifrice.
