Because even new gnashers need protection.
That rumor that kids don’t need toothpaste before the age of 2? Totally false, says Mitali Y. Patel, DDS, a board-certified pediatric dentist and program director of the pediatric dentistry residency at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, DC. “Using toothpaste is important as soon as there are teeth in the mouth, because it can help prevent tooth decay,” she says.
Beyond looking for a baby toothpaste with fluoride, picking out the best baby or toddler toothpaste is really up to your personal preference. For example, some children like strong flavors; othersdislike them. But feel free to steer clear of adult toothpastes designed to combat things like discoloration, sensitivity and tartar buildup. “These ingredients that are present in adult toothpaste to address adult dental needs are often not necessary in children’s toothpaste,” says Patel.
