A pea-sized blob of fluoride toothpaste should be used when brushing your teeth. Everybody older than three-years-old should use toothpaste between 1350ppm to 1500ppm of fluoride. This is enough to help strengthen your teeth and protect you from tooth decay. As well as regular toothpaste, there are many specialized kinds of toothpaste available in the market. These include tartar control for people who get tartar build-up and a choice of toothpaste for people with sensitive teeth. ‘Total care’ toothpaste includes ingredients to help fight gum disease, freshen breath, and reduce plaque build-up. ‘Whitening’ toothpaste is good at removing staining to help restore the natural color of your teeth.
