That depends most on the care of the oral cavity, and we can directly influence this factor. The main thing in this business is to buy a good toothbrush, paste and, if possible, a spray or mouthwash.
Currently, there are a huge number of toothpastes, with various effects, including toothpaste for teeth whitening, toothpastes with and without fluorine content, toothpaste for children and others.
But in this article I would like to talk specifically about toothpastes for children. Since small children can not determine which pasta is better and which is worse from your choice of toothpaste, it will depend on the habit of taking care of your teeth in the future. Thus, for small children under 6 years, you can buy special toothpastes that have different fruit flavors and flavors, and older children can already use family toothpastes. But the main thing to remember is that during brushing your child, the main thing is to control it, because the antibacterial and remineralizing effect of toothpaste starts only after 2 minutes, so make sure that your child carefully follows the rules of cleaning your teeth.
To toothpaste for young children, special, increased demands are made, especially as regards safety, if the child has swallowed toothpaste. In order that, in the event of a paste falling into the stomach, it does not have a toxic effect on the body, it should not contain harmful constituents.
To date, there is no perfect toothpaste for young children, and the issue of its creation is still open. First, toothpaste for children should contain fluoride for new, newly appeared baby teeth, and secondly, toothpaste for young children can not contain a strong fluoride concentrate, because during the cleaning process, the child can swallow the paste.
Therefore, the following requirements are imposed on children's toothpastes:
- Toothpaste should have a low content of fluoride, especially if this toothpaste will be cleaned by children under 6 years old. So, today, many manufacturers produce toothpaste in disposable doses. The content of fluoride in the baby toothpaste should not exceed 0.05%.
- Toothpaste for small children should be low abrasiveness. Therefore, for young children helium toothpastes are more suitable, which are suitable for temporary teeth and low acid resistance of the enamel.
- Despite the fact that toothpastes with different fruit flavors make the process of tooth cleaning for young children more desirable, however more neutral flavor effects will not cause a desire to swallow toothpaste.
- And naturally, toothpaste for children should have an attractive appearance and be comfortable to use even for the smallest children.
And finally, once again, we remind you, take care that your children do not swallow toothpaste, since very small children do not yet know how to clean their teeth, so about 40% of the paste is swallowed. So, in no case you can not use adult toothpaste for young children, only when they reach 12 years of age, you can already apply family toothpaste. And most importantly, in no case is it inadmissible for children to use whitening toothpastes.
