Mau. It is often seen that small children insist that people give them toothpaste. But do you know that giving toothpaste to small children is quite harmful. If not, then today let us tell you what dentists tell small children about toothpaste. Is it right to give them toothpaste or not? If toothpaste is given then how should it be given and to what age should it be given to children?

Do not give toothpaste to children under 2 years of age
Talking to Local 18, Dr. Amit Kumar Upadhyay, a dentist at Shanti Dental Clinic, says that brushing is beneficial for everyone, but there is a certain age for brushing. If a child younger than 2 years of age brushes, it can prove to be very harmful for them. If brushing is also required, then the parents should apply toothpaste with a soft brush with their own hands because if a small child picks up a brush and puts it in his mouth, he may get injured or may eat the toothpaste, which has a great impact on the health of the teeth. Do not allow 2 year old children to brush with toothpaste, otherwise it can prove to be very harmful for their health.

Use fluoride toothpaste
Try not to give toothpaste to children under 2 years of age, let them only clean their teeth with their hands using a soft brush. Because toothpaste causes a lot of harm to children below 2 years of age. Children below 2 years of age should be given special attention by their parents, because small carelessness can play with the life of their children. Even if you brush children, use toothpaste with fluoride, because this toothpaste is specially made for children which does not harm them. Generally, the toothpaste that adults use at home causes great harm to small children. Pay special attention while applying toothpaste to small children, especially if there are children below 2 years of age in the house, then do not give them toothpaste otherwise their teeth may get damaged.
