A slightly misplaced hyphen draws to mind a rather weird image of a lot of middle-aged kids with toothy grins. Davies, GM and colleagues published “A randomised controlled trial of the effectiveness of providing free fluoride toothpaste from the age of 12 months on reducing caries in 54-year old children. (Community Dent Health. 2002 Sep;19(3):131-6.)
