Brushing young children’s teeth is important...so is using the right amount of safe and healthy fluoride toothpaste. Two new, free apps from Tooth Talk can help. The apps show photos of the recommended amount of fluoride toothpaste for infants and children, ages birth to six. One app is designed for use by childcare providers and dental and medical professionals to share with parents. The other is for parents, as a helpful reminder.
The toothpaste amounts featured in the apps are recommendations by American Dental Association, American Academy of Pediatrics and American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry.
Simple to use on the phone, laptop, tablet and computer, the colorful, informative apps include helpful tips for brushing little ones’ teeth as well.
Tooth decay is the most common chronic childhood disease. It can hurt...and affect a child’s ability to eat, grow, talk, learn, sleep, play and smile. Good oral health is important to overall health. These new apps can help you protect children’s healthy smiles.
