Dental caries remains a prevalent global public health concern, affecting individuals of all ages. Fluoride toothpaste has been widely recommended as a primary preventive measure to combat dental caries. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of fluoride toothpaste in preventing dental caries across various populations, focusing on its concentration, usage frequency, and overall effectiveness. Databases such as PubMed, Cochrane Library, and Google Scholar were searched for relevant studies published between 2000 and 2023. The findings indicate that fluoride toothpaste significantly reduces dental caries incidence when used regularly, with higher fluoride concentrations proving more effective under specific conditions. The review underscores the critical role of fluoride toothpaste in oral health promotion and advocates for its continued inclusion in daily oral hygiene routines
