For adults and children \u003cstrong\u003e12 years and older\u003c\/strong\u003e, the typical instructions (from the official label) are:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrush your teeth \u003cstrong\u003eas usual\u003c\/strong\u003e with your regular toothpaste, then rinse your mouth lightly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDispense a pea-sized amount\u003c\/strong\u003e of MI Paste Mint.
