After brushing, encourage your child to spit the toothpaste out but don’t rinse with water.

Encourage your child to spit the toothpaste out but don’t rinse with water.

Each time your child brushes their teeth, both morning and night, make sure they spit but don’t rinse.

Toothpaste contains fluoride which helps strengthen your child’s teeth.

By not rinsing with water, fluoride in the toothpaste will stay on your child’s teeth for longer helping to keep them strong.

See brush morning, brush night for advice on brushing your child's teeth.
