Dear bOHP Subscribers,
Too much toothpaste? Have you heard this before?
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that 40% of children aged 3-6 years are exceeding the recommended toothpaste guidelines. This article emphasizes the importance of discussing toothpaste use and fluoride levels with parents of pediatric patients. Click on the linked image below to explore these results.
Best wishes,
