{"id":379,"count":8,"description":"Growing Smiles has a number of children's toothpastes suitable for all ages and tastes. Choose a toothpaste suitable for your child's age and circumstance. Learn more about toothpaste and what is right for your child\u00a0 on our toothpaste guide<\/a>. Many children (and adults for that matter!) don't like mint flavoured toothpaste so we have mint free alternatives available.\r\n\r\n[read more]OHP 1450<\/a> is the one often used in many oral health programmes. It is very mild mint with a family level of fluoride. Anyone sensitive to foaming ingredients (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate SLS) should try OraNurse toothpaste. OraNurse<\/a> was originally developed for use by autistic children. It now comes in two fluoride strengths 1000ppm and 1450ppm. ppm = parts per million.\r\n\r\nBrush-Baby toothpastes come in Applemint 1000pm with xylitol<\/a> and Tutti Fruitti 1350ppm<\/a> with xylitol. Why add xylitol? Xylitol is a sugar alcohol and it has been shown to increase the benefits of fluoride\u00a0 in preventing tooth decay. Find out more about xylitol here<\/a> on our tips page under sugar.\r\n\r\nEveryone will benefit from using fluoride toothpaste at night time and one other time every day.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nTwice a day use increases the benefit.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n\r\nSpit toothpaste out after brushing but don\u2019t rinse \u2013 let the ingredients work!<\/strong>\r\n\r\nThe recommended level of fluoride for children's toothpaste is based on two things. Age<\/strong> and risk of tooth decay and\/or tooth wear<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nRecommended level of fluoride in toothpaste \u2013\r\n\r\n0-3 years use a smear<\/strong> of paste with at least 1000ppm fluoride (small children should not lick or eat toothpaste from the tube)\r\n\r\n3 years and over a pea sized blob<\/strong> of paste 1350 -1500ppm fluoride\r\n\r\n\"toothbrushes\r\n\r\nAll children upto the age of around 7 or 8 need help to brush their teeth properly. It's not easy to clean every surface of each tooth and beyond 8 Growing Smiles recommended supervising brushing and assisting as is necessary. Between 8 and 16 a lot changes in the mouth - baby teeth fall out, permanent teeth erupt and it can get very complicated to clean everything well! Toothbrushing will take time - often something we are in short supply of so a toothbrush timer or powered toothbrush with a timer can really help. Using a smart brush like the Playbrush<\/a> can really increase the length of time spent brushing - 2 birds with one brush so to speak - toothbrushing and a video game!
