What Kind of Toothpaste should I Use for Children?

Brushing your kids' teeth is necessary and one of the most important things you need to do for maintaining their good oral health. This involves removing the plaque and debris from their teeth and helps them prevent tooth decay and keep them healthy.

There are many types of toothpastes available, if your child is able to spit the toothpaste, use fluoride toothpaste. Use the toothpaste of pea sized for children age 3 and above. If the child is doing for him/herself, check whether they have covered all the teeth or not. If you do it, you can brush more easily and effectively, because you can see all the teeth and gum line in better way and this also allow you to identify the areas that require more cleaning.

If the child is under two years, it is better if you use toothpaste without fluoride and for below 12 months, a wet brush is enough to clean your child's teeth. If the child is three years or older and s still not able to or is not honed the skill of brush and spit properly, use a toothpaste without fluoride, because swallowing too much fluoridated toothpaste leads to permanent discoloration of teeth.

When choosing toothpaste for your children, be very careful, because the toothpastes and polishes may damage the child's teeth as they contain harsh abrasives that may take away the young tooth enamel. So the toothpaste you use for your child should be ADA sealed, because toothpastes manufactured under these norms are safe. Therefore, next time when you shop for your child toothpaste, look for ADA seal.
