When you see your child’s first tooth, it’s time to start brushing with toothpaste 2 times a day.

Make sure to use the right amount of toothpaste for your child’s age.

Parents are in charge of putting the right of amount of toothpaste on the brush.

Always keep toothpaste in a safe place, away from children.

Teach your child to spit out the toothpaste and not to swallow it.
