Background: The use of fluoride as a preventive measure has been transcending for many years and the individual administration of it has been incorporated into dental hygiene products so that people benefit from its daily use. Over time, different international studies have been carried out to compare declared total fluoride in dental products vs. total fluoride, showing discrepancies between both results. Objective: To determine the concentrations of fluorides in mouthrinses for children in the Peruvian market. Methods: Cross-sectional, observational, descriptive and prospective study. The samples studied were 3 containers of each mouthrinse brand for children available in the Peruvian market (Oral Fresh® Kids, Dentito® Chicle globo, Dentito®Chicha morada, Colgate®Plax® Kids). Subsequently, to determine the total fluoride concentration, an F-selective electrode coupled to an ion analyzer was used. Results: It was found that the total fluoride concentration presented values between 230.7 ppmF (Oral Fresh® Kids) and 270.7 ppmF (Dentito® Chicle Globo). Conclusions: The concentration of total fluoride found in mouthrinses for children sold in the Peruvian market is higher than the one declared by the manufacturer and the one accepted by the Peruvian Health Ministry.
