 # Amount of fluoride in smear size toothpaste for children age less than 3 years: 
a. 0.1mg 
b. 0.2 mg 
c. 0.5 mg 
d. 1 mg 



The correct answer is A. 0.1 mg.

For children younger than 3 years, caregivers should begin brushing children's teeth as soon as they begin to come into the mouth by using fluoride toothpaste in an amount no more than a smear or the size of a grain of rice. Teeth should be brushed thoroughly twice per day (morning and night) or as directed by a dentist or physician. Children's brushing should be supervised to ensure that they use the appropriate amount of toothpaste.
