Fluoride and Brushing Your Children’s Teeth in Rochester, MN
March 24, 2014
The American Dental Association has updated their guidelines for brushing children’s teeth. Here’s what you need to know about the update:
Parents should use a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste to brush baby teeth twice daily as soon as the teeth erupt, instead of waiting until children are older. Once children are 3 to 6 years old, then the amount should be increased to a pea-size dollop.
