The purpose of this study is to compare the amount of dentifrice used in general by the subjects with the amount of dentifrice both by Pea-size and by sideways application(transverse technique) after the subjects of dental hygiene students applied dentifrice on the toothbrushes for kids. The amount of dentifrice was calculated by the weight differences between toothbrush itself and toothbrush with dentifrice on it after toothbrushes for children were allotted to subjects. For the first measurement, the subjects were told to apply out the amount of dentifrice considered proper for children when they brush their teeth. For the second one, they were told to apply out the amount of Pea-size dentifrice recommended to children. Finally, the subjects had to applied dentifrice out on their toothbrush in the sideways or transverse technique after they were taught the way to applied dentifrice out. In this experiment, the average amount of dentifrice per usage when he or she brush his or her teeth as usual was 0.40 g, and the average amount of dentifrice applied to Pea-size application was 0.43 g, and the average amount of dentifrice applied to Transverse technique application was 0.26 g. Transverse technique not only can be easy to show and teach the way to both children and their parents, but also can be recommendable to children because it can minimize fluoride intake carelessly
