The hygiene of an oral cavity is not less important for the child, than for the adult. Sometimes there is an opinion that dairy teeth do not need cleaning at all. Stomatologists disprove such opinion, health of milk teeth causes also the subsequent health of radical. To choose the correct toothpaste, it is necessary to pay attention to the components which are contained in it.

The cleaning or abrasive substances, contained in children's toothpaste, such as bicarbonate of sodium or carbonate of calcium can injure enamel of children's teeth, destroying and erasing it. Therefore it is better to replace these substances the softest, such as dioxide of the titanium or dioxide of silicon. They contain in such pastes as Lacalut and R.O.C.S.
2. Fluorine. Not so long ago, 10-15 years ago, pastes with fluorine stood buyers special high in esteem and popularity. At the moment many stomatologists oppose existence of this component as a part of toothpastes, especially children's. High concentration of fluorine, at ingestion, is harmful to the child. Better if at paste there are its analogs having organic origin, for example olaflyur or aminofluoride. For example in Silka Putzi paste fluorine content minimum, answering to norms (up to 0.05%).
3. Foam. Substances creating foam, such as sodium lauryl sulfates or just SLS, have the drying-up effect on mucous, causing irritations and also are quite toxic. Such component is a part of the Dragon toothpaste. In fact foam only helps with sliding, but not with clarification therefore its large number does not affect quality of toothbrushing in any way. President is respectively better to get paste without this harmful component, for example.
4. Preservatives and fragrances. Trying to prolong an expiration date and to optimize storage conditions, producers are not sorry for toothpaste of preservatives. But many of them are very toxic, such as propylene glycol or just PEG, the sodium benzoate which is contained in such pastes as Colgate and Aquafresh. As it is paste children's, add the corresponding vkuso-aromatic additives and dyes. There are natural extracts (mint, an eucalyptus, an anise), and there are also artificial. They, of course, are not so harmful, but nevertheless to the child in the use are not desirable.
5. Dairy enzymes. Dairy enzymes which are present at toothpaste, such as lysozyme, lactoperoxidase, lactoferrin, glucose oxide, are components which protect tooth enamel, at the same time strengthening it. The choice of such pastes, they and are called dairy, it is primary as they not only are safe, but also are useful. For example the Splat toothpaste contains such enzymes.
6. Antibacterial substances. The opinion is wrong that use of means of hygiene with the content of antibacterial substances, brings huge benefit. It of course so, but when there are on it medical indications. In this case it oral cavity diseases at the child which only the expert can diagnose. To use antibacterial toothpastes to the healthy child there is no need.
