Pea Sized is for Peas

Babies should have their teeth brushed twice a day with a fluoride free toothpaste.

After the age of two, fluoride toothpaste can be introduced but limited to a pea sized amount. Children must be supervised and taught to spit after brushing to minimize the amount of fluoride consumption. Flossing should be coupled with brushing, which is especially important before bedtime because saliva levels drop when we sleep. Consult with your dentist as needed.
