Because MI Paste PLUS contains a level of fluoride similar to that of adult strength toothpastes, there are issues when the material is ingested either accidentally or deliberately in children because of their low birth weight. Ingestion of a pea-size amount (0.5mL) of MI Paste PLUS will contribute 0.45mg of fluoride ion to the daily fluoride intake. In young children (up to six years of age), use of MI Paste PLUS is contra indicated because it may increase the risk of dental fluorosis. Children aged six years and above can use both standard (adult strength) toothpaste (1000ppm) and MI Paste PLUS without an increased risk of dental fluorosis.
