ASDC DENTAL JOURNAL
Age, fluoride and supervision belong together.
Dr. Farah’s August 2025 video discusses choosing toothpaste for children. Bring the toothpaste label to the next visit and ask about its fluoride concentration and the amount suitable for your child.
The practical takeaway
Use fluoride toothpaste and supervise brushing. NHS guidance describes a smear for children under three and a pea-sized amount for ages three to six. The concentration and individual advice should be discussed with your dentist, particularly when decay risk is higher.
Ask how to help your child brush consistently and when their next dental visit should be. Keep toothpaste out of reach and discourage swallowing it.
Bring the question to your visit
Save the topic that matters to you and discuss it with the dentist. An article can help prepare your questions; personal advice needs your history and a clinical examination.
