As a caring parent, you want the best toothpaste for your child!<\/h2>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

With the\u00a0multitude of options available, choosing the best oral hygiene product can be difficult. Here are our<\/a> recommendations in choosing the best toothpaste for your child.<\/p>\n

Opt for Flavor, But Not Too Much<\/h3>\n

Children have hypersensitive taste buds, which means you\u2019ll want to opt for flavored toothpaste. But if the toothpaste tastes too good, your child might be tempted to eat it. Opt for a toothpaste with a subtle flavor that\u2019s enough to be pleasant, but won\u2019t be confused as a tasty edible treat.<\/p>\n

Look for the ADA Label<\/h3>\n

The American Dental Association<\/a> is vigilant about accrediting only toothpaste brands that meet its stringent guidelines. Make sure that whatever brand you choose bears the\u00a0ADA seal of approval.<\/p>\n

Skip the Whitening Ingredients<\/h3>\n

Your child should have their own toothpaste that doesn<\/span>\u2019t carry ingredients meant for adults. Though you want your child\u2019s teeth to be white, the harsh abrasives and ingredients in adult whitening toothpaste are not appropriate for kids. Children\u2019s tooth enamel is not yet fully developed, so their teeth are less protected than an adult\u2019s. Whitening ingredients could potentially harm the enamel or even the dentin of the tooth itself, compromising your child\u2019s oral health.<\/p>\n

Choose Toothpaste With Fluoride<\/h3>\n

Even if your drinking water at home contains fluoride, it\u2019s important that your child\u2019s toothpaste has fluoride listed as one of the ingredients. Fluoride has been proven to reduce the incidence of cavities, and children need that added protection.<\/p>\n

Remember that youngsters need supervision while using toothpaste\u00a0even after they appear to have mastered the skill of brushing their teeth.
