The difference between children's and adult's toothpaste and toothbrushes
Children's toothpaste and toothbrushes have their own specifications and are different from the dental tools of adults. With children it is necessary to be careful about the brush softness; brushes which are too hard could harm the gums. From the very beginning we encourage cleaning without a toothpaste, until the child learns how to use a brush correctly and to rinse. The child can accidently swallow when rinsing, therefore the taste of the toothpaste should not be so strong as for adults. There are a lot of kinds of fruit flavoured toothpaste available for children.
From the age of four it is possible to start using toothpaste with the content of fluoride which creates a protective covering on the enamel. This protects and strenghtens the teeth. For children the amount of flouride should be lowered than for adults. Up to the age of four children should use the toothpaste without flouride due to the risks of swallowing.
