The America Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends that "fluoride toothpaste should be used twice daily as a primary preventative procedure. Twice daily use has better benefits than once daily brushing". You should use a 'smear' of fluoride for children less than 2 years of age, and a pea size for children ages 2-5 years. "To maximize the beneficial effect of fluoride in the toothpaste, rinsing after brushing should be kept to a minimum or eliminated altogether". For more information talk to your dentist and see: www.aapd.org.
