How much toothpaste to use When do we brush our teeth?
In toothpaste advertisements we are used to seeing a strip of toothpaste covering the entire length of the brush head: way too much!
La right amount of toothpaste to be used is "pea-sized," so of the size of a pea.
A really small amount is enough to effectively clean our teeth and to provide the proper supply of the important minerals contained in toothpaste, such as fluoride.
Also a smaller amount of toothpaste causes less foam to form inside the mouth, and this allows us not to feel the need to rinse with water after brushing our teeth.
Indeed we should not rinse our mouth after using fluoride toothpaste Because, with rinsing, we take away the fluoride that has settled on the teeth and helps them with remineralization!
