Humble's directions for mouth and gum care are as follows:
Activate a 10-drop dosage of mms in a clean, dry glass. Add 6-8
ounces of purified or distilled water after waiting for the activation.
POUR the mixture over a soft toothbrush and very GENTLY brush the gums and teeth with it.
Pour some on the toothbrush, saturating it, brushing a small portion of the gums and teeth, pour more solution on the toothbrush, brush another small section, etc., until all of the teeth and gums have been brushed.
Jim did not say the dosage would be less for a child as far as the mouth and gum care, but to be cautious, I would start out with HALF the dosage (5 drops of mms instead of 10) for your child.
The directions for taking it INTERNALLY are different for a child, however, so if you decide to go that route, you will want to check Jim's book for the correct dosages.
All the best!
