What is the best toothpaste, toothbrush or floss?
Any kind of fluoridated toothpaste your child tolerates is fine. Kid flavors, adult flavors…it doesn’t matter. However, until your child is able to spit (around age 5), make sure the amount of toothpaste is no more than a smear, or the size of a baby pea. The toothbrush should be soft (not medium or hard). Don’t forget to brush all sides of all teeth: front, back, sides, inside, by the tongue and near the roof of the mouth. As for floss, any kind works. Floss sticks are great!
