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.
