Is Dentral Tra-la-la suitable for a 3-year-old, and how much should I put on the brush? — Children's Toothpaste "Cola," 50 ml - Dentral Tra-La-La

Dentral Tra-la-la is designed for children aged 3–10, so it is appropriate for a 3-year-old. At this age, brushing skill is still developing and children often swallow some paste, so an adult should be nearby every time. A pea-sized amount is the usual starting point for young children: it is enough to cover the teeth and limits how much paste can be swallowed if the child does not spit perfectly.

This toothpaste contains calcium lactate and sodium monofluorophosphate. The fluoride source is used in toothpaste to help make enamel more resistant to acid attack, and the calcium lactate is included to help replenish the tooth surface. For a 3–10-year-old who is moving from a toddler paste to a more grown-up product, this combination can be part of a normal twice-daily brushing routine.

Let the child brush first, then do a supervised pass to reach the molars and gum line, and have them spit out the excess. If you are unsure how much paste is right for your child, ask a dentist or pharmacist, especially if they already use another fluoride product.
