Can I buy a 1-year-old child toothpaste for children aged 3 to 6 years: is there a difference

As you know, toothpastes intended for children are divided into categories based on the age of the child.

If you are interested in the differences between children's toothpastes, welcome: that is exactly what we will do in this article.

From one year to three years

The first teeth appear in a baby at the age of 4-8 months - from this age you can begin to gradually teach the child to take care of oral hygiene.

Pastes from this category gently remove plaque and food debris from the enamel, and also soothe gums that become inflamed due to teething.

From 3 to 6 years

Between the ages of 3 and 6, children often develop cavities in their baby teeth. Toothpastes for this age range are enriched with calcium to strengthen the enamel.

From 6 to 10 years

Between the ages of 6 and 10, baby teeth are replaced by permanent teeth, so the toothpaste should provide high-quality and safe care for both types of teeth.

Fluorides are added to such pastes, which increase the protective properties of enamel and protect it from the effects of acids.
