How much toothpaste should I use?!
Question: How much toothpaste should I use.?
I've just started using a tube of toothpaste that came in a box with a picture on the side showing a toothbrush with a squirt of toothpaste over all the bristles. Do I really need to use that much at once.? Usually I use just a dab -- about half the size of a pea.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
If the small amount you use is enough to foam up and cover all your teeth then its probably enough...For my manual toothbrush I use about 1cm of toothpaste, about 2 peas worth...lol...if I use my electric toothbrush I use less somewhere between 1/2-1 peas sized dollop....I am pretty sure its brushing technique not amount of toothpaste that is important and do it for around 2 minutes too.Health Question & Answer

Toothpaste is just to make it taste nice. It may have a small amount of abrasive effect but, really, all you need is a dry brush. It's the brushing that does the job.Health Question & Answer
Yeah you really do need that much because other wise you won't have enough tooth paste to cover all your teeth.

You should be using a strip that covers the bristles, two centimetres long or something like that. The pea-sized amount is recommended for a young child.Health Question & Answer
