How much toothpaste should my child use?

The NHS advises a smear of toothpaste for children under 3 and a pea-sized blob for children aged 3 to 6.

Does my child need a special children's toothpaste?

No. Children of all ages can use family toothpaste, as long as it contains 1,350 to 1,500ppm fluoride. Children aged 3 and under who do not have tooth decay can use a lower strength children's toothpaste containing at least 1,000ppm fluoride.

Will my child still need help brushing at 5?

Yes. The NHS says children need to be helped or supervised when brushing until they are at least 7 years old.

Help your child brush with a fluoride toothpaste twice a day for about 2 minutes each time. Brush last thing before bed, and on 1 other occasion. Have them spit out the excess toothpaste without rinsing.

The following precautions apply:

• Children need to be helped or supervised when brushing until they are at least 7 years old.
• Make sure children do not lick or eat toothpaste from the tube.
