Should I be using a special toothpaste / toothbrush for my child?

It is important that you use a children’s toothpaste, such as Macleans Milk Teeth, when brushing your child’s teeth. These toothpastes are specially formulated for children and have reduced levels of fluoride. This effectively protects and strengthens your child’s teeth.

Children’s toothbrushes should also be introduced into the brushing process as soon as you feel your child would accept it. These brushes, such as Macleans Flex® Child, are also specially designed for children, with smaller heads and softer bristles.
