How much toothpaste is enough?
Covering the entire surface of the toothbrush with toothpaste is a waste of money because adults only need a pea-sized amount.
We all want to have sparkling white teeth, so we often tend to use a lot of toothpaste without realizing that the bristles of the toothbrush are the ones that do the cleaning. Talking to Greatist, Manhattan dentist Steven Goldberg advises adults to only use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste each time they brush their teeth, as shown in the photo below. |

For children under 6, use only a small amount of toothpaste equivalent to a grain of rice, as they can sometimes swallow toothpaste or develop fluorosis, which can cause stains on their teeth. Ana Paula Ferraz-Dougherty, a spokeswoman for the American Dental Association, said adults may not have a problem using too much toothpaste, but it is unnecessary waste.
