Choosing the best toothpaste for kids

If you have children, there’s a good chance you’ve had trouble getting them to brush their teeth from time to time. It’s a well-known fact that kids hate brushing their teeth. Not only are many toothbrushes uncomfortable, most toothpastes taste bad too. I remember when I was six and having to use spearmint toothpaste and hating the bitter taste. Back then there weren’t many flavor options, so you just had to suck it up if you didn’t like it. Luckily, now there are many brands of children’s toothpaste to choose from in a variety of delicious flavours. But with so many different options, where do you start?
Well other than asking your dentist for toothpaste recommendations, look for brands with the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) seal on them. The seal means the toothpaste has been tested for its effectiveness and proper ingredients and is deemed safe to use. Choose a mild abrasive and stay away from toothpastes which may contain harmful chemicals, such as triclosan. This chemical has been linked to possibly causing heart problems. Try not to let your child swallow fluoridated toothpaste (Yep, kids eat toothpaste!) and don’t force a flavour they don’t like. For the best toothpastes for your kids, try some of the following brands.
