🪥 More toothpaste doesn't mean better protection!
Did you know that using the right amount of toothpaste is just as important as brushing the right way? Using too much toothpaste, especially for young children, may increase the risk of swallowing excess fluoride.
Here's a simple guide:
🦷 0–2 months: A rice grain-sized amount
🦷 3–5 years: A pea-sized amount
🦷 5 years & above: A pea-sized amount (slightly more if needed)
🚫 You only need a small amount.
Healthy smiles start with good habits. If you're unsure which toothpaste is best for you or your child, our dental team is always happy to help. 💚
