Now let’s discuss the various reason why you should consider children’s toothpaste;<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. It Has Little Or No Fluoride<\/h3>\n\n\n\nFluoride content in children’s toothpaste is usually in tiny amounts or not at all. This is because kids tend to swallow toothpaste foam rather than spit them out. Ingesting a large amount of fluoride can cause fluoride toxicity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fluoride toxicity, however, can cause a series of symptoms such as diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and hypocalcemia. Usually, toothpaste made for children below 6 years does not have any trace of fluoride, while toothpaste for 6 years and above usually contain little amount of fluoride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Kiddies’ Toothpaste Is Mild<\/h3>\n\n\n\nChildren’s toothpaste is not abrasive as their teeth do not need harsh products to maintain white teeth. The abrasiveness of regular kinds of toothpaste can be damaging to your child’s dental health. This is why sticking to children’s toothpaste is best for your kid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. There Is A Range Of Flavors<\/h3>\n\n\n\nYou will find that there are a lot of flavors you can try out for your kid. This is a way to encourage kids to enjoy brushing because these flavors make the toothpaste sweeter rather than minty, which kids may not appreciate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Final Note<\/h4>\n\n\n\nRegular or adult toothpaste is not the right choice for kids except if they are of age to be introduced to adult toothpaste. For kids below 8 years, be sure to only use children’s toothpaste for them. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"For many reasons, parents can wonder if it is okay for their kids to use regular adult toothpaste…\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":1156,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Can-Kids-Use-Adult-Toothpaste.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1096"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1515,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1096\/revisions\/1515"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1156"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1096"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1096"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mummy-time.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1096"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}} |
