Experts reveal how much toothpaste children need at each age
Research-based advice shows fluoride safety depends on dosage. Dr Shalu Bhardwaj noted that infants need only a rice-sized smear, while Dr Kiran Dhanotra recommended pea-sized use for 2-6 years, and Dr Saumya Saluja confirmed that older children can cover half the bristles. Correct dosage prevents fluorosis while ensuring effective caries prevention in childhood.
