05/22/15 7:10 AM

The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends all children to use toothpaste that contains fluoride as soon as teeth appear, no matter the risk of cavities.

Experts suggest that till age of 3, children should use a smear (the size of a rice grain) of toothpaste. After age 3, a pea-sized amount may be used. Parents should put the toothpaste on the child’s toothbrush and supervise and help with the brushing.

The recommendations of AAP also includes that once the child’s teeth start appearing, fluoride varnish should be applied by doctors or dentists every 3 to 6 months.
