Abstract
Oral health training appears to promote confidence in performing recommended oral health practices. Differences in fluoride knowledge by provider type suggest that fluoride guidance has been disseminated more effectively among pediatricians than among family physicians. Educational content of oral health training programs should place increased emphasis on current fluoride guidance, early dental visits, and assessing parents' oral health. Instructional methods should address physicians' confidence, particularly among family physicians.
