The Spanish Association of Pediatrics recommends until the age of six years to use a children's toothpaste, specific for children, since they contain fluoride.

 

When the first teeth erupt, dental brushing should be started to prevent early childhood cavities.

 

"Brushing should be done at least twice a day, with an emphasis on night brushing under the supervision of parents."

 

With regard to the amount of fluoride and dosage of toothpaste, it should be about 1000 ppm in children under 3 years, and the amount of paste to be placed in the brush should correspond to a raw rice granite of 0-2 years , A granite of cooked rice of 3-4 years and of five years on and in the form of a pea.

 

Important recommendations with toothpaste during children's toothbrushing:

 

(A) It is important that you supervise your little one while washing your mouth and it is you who put the toothpaste on your toothbrush (the appearance of children's toothpaste usually draws a lot of attention from children and could ingest large amounts Which put their health at risk).

 

(B) The amount of toothpaste should be minimal, since the amount of toothpaste does not depend on the quality of the brushing and an exaggerated proportion of toothpaste can generate a sensation of cleaning in the mouth of the child without it.

 

(C) Put a plastic cup in the reach of the little one that will facilitate the rinsing of your teeth once the brushing process is finished.

 

(D) Ask her to rinse her mouth 2 times to remove any residual toothpaste that may remain in her mouth.
