It's hard to get some kids to brush their teeth on a routine basis. Now there's a new concern from the CDC saying kids are using too much toothpaste.
A reported 40 percent of kids are using more than the amount that's required.
Kids four to six should only use a pea-sized amount, while kids under three should only use a grain of rice size portion.
There is a poison danger to using too much with children, but too much fluoride can also create blotchy teeth in little ones.
