I have read in "Indian Pediatrics" November 2002 issue that
"Fluoridated toothpaste can be safely recommended to children above 6
years old." But, "Indian Pediatrics, April 2010 recommended that "toothbrushing
of all dentate children should be performed with a fluoridated
toothpaste." I want to know the exact time to start a fluoridated
toothpaste in a child.
