We encourage you to pay attention to the type of toothpaste you give small children; fluoride levels vary from product to product.
A pea-sized amount is recommended for children under six years of age, but read the fine print on the tube for recommendations. You should also keep it out of reach; kids are sometimes tempted to eat toothpaste.
Fluoride is helpful in preventing dental caries, but too much can cause defects in the enamel or more serious conditions. Please call our office at (503) 663-8141 if you have questions or are unsure about your child's toothpaste.
