How Much Toothpaste Should My Child Be Using?
Childrens toothpaste – how much should you be using? A question we often get asked, so we thought we would put the answer into print for you!
How much toothpaste should I be using?
Children aged up to age 3
– Use only a smear of toothpaste containing no less than 1,000 ppm fluoride
Children aged 3-6
– Use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste containing 1,350–1,500 ppm fluoride
Aged 6 and above
– Use a pea sized amount of toothpaste containing 1,350-1,500ppm fluoride
Great! But how do I know how much fluoride is in toothpaste?
This information is usually displayed in the ingredients list:
Fluoride can come under different names e.g sodium fluoride or stannous fluoride.
Brush twice daily, last thing at night & on one other occasion.
