Perhaps the most reliable way to prevent caries and oral diseases is daily brushing of teeth.
For this reason, it is worthwhile to accustom your child to the hygiene procedure from an early age, and it is imperative to choose the right toothpaste for him.
General recommendations for choosing toothpaste for children
The enamel of children's teeth is not the same as that of adults and is therefore subject to increased abrasion.
The right choice is a toothpaste with reduced abrasiveness. Look for the RDA value on the packaging to make sure it is not higher than 20 units.
Make sure that the composition does not contain sodium lauryl sulfate - this component is very drying to the mucous membranes of the oral cavity.
Fluoride should be contained in minimal dosages. This "ingredient" is only permissible in pastes intended for children over 3 years old.
If you are wondering what flavor to choose for your toothpaste, put aside those with mint flavors: such an intense flavoring may cause your child to gag.
