…Counsel Parents and Caregivers Regarding Use of Fluoride Toothpaste by Young Children, Especially Those Aged <2 Years
Fluoride toothpaste is a cost-effective way to reduce the prevalence of dental caries. However, for children aged <6 years, especially those aged <2 years, an increased risk for enamel fluorosis exists because of inadequately developed control of the swallowing reflex.
Health Canada:
Fluoride is good for your teeth, but having too much fluoride can cause two potential effects on health:
- dental fluorosis
- skeletal fluorosis
Because very young children may not have developed the ability to spit, they may swallow toothpaste when brushing. We recommend using the right amount of toothpaste for your child’s age.
If your child is under 3 years old (0 to 36 months)… is at risk of developing tooth decay, then they should have their teeth brushed by an adult using a minimal amount (rice-sized grain) of fluoridated toothpaste.
An adult should always help children under age 6 brush their teeth and use only a small amount (small green pea-sized or 5 mm maximum) of fluoridated toothpaste.
