The special toothpastes that are currently available for children are very well suited provided that you choose them in terms of the age of your child.
At DentistKids, we recommend that you use toothpaste with a fluoride content of:
– Up to 2 years: 500 ppm.
– From 2 to 5 years: 500 to 1000 ppm.
– From 5 years onwards: 1450 ppm, the same as for adults.
“Whitening, extra white, bicarbonate, …” toothpastes should be avoided at all costs since they can be too aggressive for the sensitive gums and teeth of children. We also advise against organic fluoride-free toothpastes containing essential oils, mainly because they contain no fluorides whatsoever.
Toothpastes exist in every possible colour and flavour (strawberry, tutti frutti, chlorophyll, etc.) to suit the tastes of little ones everywhere.
We are intimately convinced that “prevention is better than cure” and so we place the highest importance on introducing kids to preventive oral hygiene. Our expert staffs use playful educational games to teach them to look after their teeth as effectively as possible and encourage good oral hygiene habits.
