Objective: To determine the relationship between the parents’ knowledge on the use of toothpaste and the characteristics associated with estimated fluoride intake in children of Metropolitan Lima and Callao. Materials and Methods: Observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. The questionnaire was administered to 264 parents living in Metropolitan Lima and Callao from July to September 2020. The questionnaire used to measure the level of knowledge and characteristics associated with the estimated intake of fluoride was validated and translated into Spanish by Mattos et al. Absolute and relative frequencies, means, and standard deviation were calculated for categorical and numerical variables, respectively. For bivariate analysis, the Chi-square test was used with a statistical significance level of <0.05. Results: There is an association between the level of knowledge about the use of fluoride toothpaste and the characteristics associated with the estimated intake of fluoride, with medium level of knowledge being the highest among the parents surveyed in Metropolitan Lima and Callao, since 52.94% of fathers and 60.41% of mothers had a medium level of knowledge about the use of fluoride toothpaste. Conclusion: A statistically significant association was also found between the level of knowledge on the use of fluoride toothpaste and the sociodemographic characteristics of the parents as well as the characteristics associated with the estimated fluoride intake.
