# Pea Size Notes
> More foam does not mean more clean. Understand the right amount for adults and why less is better for the people who share your bathroom.

## Guides
- [The Pea-Sized Amount for Adults](https://how-much-toothpaste-to-use.pages.dev/pea-sized-amount-adults/): Dental organizations commonly advise about a pea-sized dab of fluoride toothpaste for adults, which is far less than the ribbon seen in many advertisements.
- [A Smear for Toddlers](https://how-much-toothpaste-to-use.pages.dev/smear-for-toddlers/): For young children, dental organizations commonly advise only a tiny smear of fluoride toothpaste, about the size of a grain of rice, brushed on by an adult.
- [The Foam Myth: The Basics](https://how-much-toothpaste-to-use.pages.dev/toothpaste-foam-myth/): The toothpaste foam myth is the idea that a big lather means a better clean.
- [Why You Should Not Swallow Toothpaste](https://how-much-toothpaste-to-use.pages.dev/swallowing-toothpaste/): Toothpaste is made to be spat out, not eaten, and dental organizations commonly advise using a small amount and spitting rather than swallowing it.
- [Choosing a Flavor You Will Use](https://how-much-toothpaste-to-use.pages.dev/toothpaste-flavor-and-habit/): A flavor you can stand is one you are more likely to brush with twice a day, which makes toothpaste flavor and habit a practical question rather than a vanity.
