Tips for Choosing Kids’ Toothpaste
✔ Fluoride vs Fluoride-Free:
Fluoride-free options are safer if kids often swallow toothpaste.Low-fluoride kids pastes help prevent cavities as permanent teeth come in. 
✔ Flavor Matters: Fruity, mild flavours (strawberry, orange, fruit punch) make brushing less of a battle.
✔ Gentle Formula: Look for non-SLS, low-abrasive, and kid-friendly formulas for sensitive gums.
