Fluoridated toothpaste guidelines
issued by
Calgary Regional Health Authority
Are fluoride/fluoridation proponents finally acknowledging that our children are receiving too much fluoride? The easiest way to reduce fluoride over-exposure and stem the dental fluorosis pandemic is to stop fluoridation.
A new fluoridated toothpaste guideline is only one step towards fixing the problem. As follows:
- Children Age 1-2 should only use a slight smear of toothpaste
- Children age 3-5 should only use 1/2 of a pea-size amount of toothpaste
- Children Age 6 and older should only use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste
- always supervise the amount of toothpaste used
- teach your child to spit after brushing
- help your child brush until 8 years of age
