Is Your Child Using Too Much Toothpaste? 🪥
When it comes to toothpaste, a little goes a LONG way!
Here's how much fluoride toothpaste children really need:
👶 Under age 3: A tiny smear, about the size of a grain of rice.
🧒 Ages 3–6: A pea-sized amount.
Using the right amount helps protect little teeth while minimizing swallowed toothpaste.
Parents should help with brushing and supervise to make sure children spit out the toothpaste.
💙 Small habits today help build healthy smiles tomorrow!
