Why use children's toothpaste?
Children's toothpaste is specially designed to meet the oral care needs of children.
- Fluoride: Fluoride is a key element in children's toothpastes, helping to protect teeth against cavities. However, the concentration of fluoride should be lower than in adult toothpastes, as excessive ingestion can cause a condition called dental fluorosis in children.
- Taste: Children's toothpastes generally have mild, fruity flavors to encourage children to brush regularly.
- Gentle formula: They are designed to be gentle so as not to irritate children's sensitive gums.
- Attractive colors and characters: Children's toothpastes often come in colorful packaging with cartoon characters to make them more appealing to children.
It's advisable to start using a toothpaste with fluoride as soon as the child's first tooth appears. Parents should monitor their child's toothbrushing up to the age of 6 or 7 to make sure they are using the right amount of toothpaste and brushing properly.
Don't forget to consult a pediatric dentist for recommendations specific to your child's age and needs.
What are the best children's toothpastes in pharmacies?
There are several brands of children's toothpaste available in pharmacies. Here are a few popular brands available:
- Oral-B Kids: This toothpaste has been specially designed for children and contains fluoride to help protect against cavities. It's also available in different flavors that kids love.
- Elmex Junior: Designed for children aged 6 to 12, this toothpaste contains amine fluoride to protect against cavities and strengthen enamel.
We recommend that you read the product label carefully to check the fluoride content and recommended age. Also, be sure to supervise your children when they brush their teeth to ensure they use the right amount of toothpaste and don't swallow it.
Why choose organic children's toothpaste?
Organic children's toothpastes are made fromnatural ingredients and contain no potentially harmful chemicals. They are an excellent option for parents who want to avoid artificial additives in their children's oral care products.
Treat your children to the exquisite, natural taste of Natessance Bio Kids Caries Protection toothpaste, specially designed for children aged 6 to 12. The key to this mouth-watering flavor lies in its star ingredient, organic aloe vera juice. This miracle plant, known for its countless benefits, adds a touch of softness, making tooth brushing not only effective but also pleasant.
Cattier's organic children's toothpaste is specially formulated to care for your child's first teeth. This toothpaste respects tooth enamel and helps keep gums healthy. Organic aloe vera gel, rich in minerals and vitamins, protects teeth and gums. Its mouth-watering raspberry flavour is appreciated by children and encourages brushing.
It's important to note that, although these toothpastes are fluoride-free, fluoride is recognized by dentists to help prevent tooth decay. You should therefore consult your dentist before deciding to use a fluoride-free toothpaste for your children.
In addition, whatever brand of toothpaste you choose, be sure to supervise your children when they brush their teeth to ensure that they use the right amount of toothpaste and don't swallow it.
Why is it important for children to maintain good dental hygiene?
The importance of dental hygiene for children cannot be underestimated, and pharmacies play a crucial role in this respect.
- Education: Pharmacists can provide valuable information to parents on the importance of dental hygiene for children. They can explain how good oral hygiene prevents tooth decay, bad breath and other dental problems.
- Suitable products: Pharmacies offer a wide range of products specially designed for children, including toothbrushes in different shapes and sizes, toothpastes with appropriate concentrations of fluoride, children's mouthwashes and more. Pharmacists can help parents choose the most appropriate products for their children based on their age, preferences and needs.
- Personalized advice : Pharmacists can offer personalized advice on how to instill good brushing and oral care habits in children. They can also help identify signs of dental problems in children.
- Reminders: Finally, by selling oral hygiene products for children, pharmacies remind parents and children of the importance of looking after their teeth and mouths.
It's important to remember that, while pharmacies play a crucial role in maintaining children's dental hygiene, regular visits to the dentist are also essential for monitoring children's oral health and intervening quickly if problems arise.
