Fluoride toothpaste is indeed safe. If the child cannot spit then you should use children's toothpaste without fluoride. For those who can spit the foam out, a small dab of toothpaste is all that is needed. Children over the age of 6 and all adults can use fluoride toothpaste whenever they brush. As always, brushing should take about 2-3 minutes to make sure every surface of the teeth gets cleaned. Don't forget to floss.
Hello, I feel very strongly about the positive effects of Fluoride toothpaste as well as topical placement after a teeth cleaning. I used a prescription fluoride toothpaste daily, and have for years. It help to keep the formation of decay down, especially when most of us drink some sort of filtered water. I highly recommend fluoride toothpaste and treatments. All the best ~Dr. P
Used as directed, Yes! Do not eat an entire tube. Brian with a small amount and spit it out when you are done brushing. It definitely helps prevent cavities.
Yes, Fluoride toothpaste is safe.
Absolutely the amount of fluoride isn’t toxic and helps to prevent acid from bacteria to cause cavities.
