Between which ages is a pea-sized amount of toothpaste recommended?

1 and 3
2 and 4
2 and 5
3 and 6

The correct answer is: 2 and 5

Between ages 2 and 5, a pea-sized amount of toothpaste is recommended for children. This is because children younger than 2 years old are not capable of spitting out the toothpaste effectively, which may lead to them swallowing too much fluoride. On the other hand, children older than 5 years old can generally manage larger amounts of toothpaste safely. Therefore, the correct answer is C. The other options are incorrect because children younger than 2 years old are not recommended to use toothpaste at all, while children older than 5 can use a larger amount of toothpaste as they are typically able to spit it out effectively.
