Correct Amount of Toothpaste to Be Used During Brushing

Hello Readers,

You should always use pea size of tooth paste while brushing . 

The major benefit of toothpaste is simply to freshen our mouth.  It is the toothbrush that actually cleans the teeth, not the toothpaste. The additional paste is just additional abrasive cleaner and does little to help clean the bacteria off our teeth. The extra abrasiveness of too much toothpaste can also result in increased tooth structure loss and gum recession.

Excess toothpaste also produces excess foam and the need to spit, creating a mess. In fact, we spit most of the extra toothpaste into the sink without it ever touching our teeth. The excess foam fills our mouth and can also make us stop brushing sooner than we should. The proper amount of time needed to brush the whole mouth is about 2 minutes. Try holding a mouthful of foam for 2 minutes without stopping!
