Depends!: Any toothpaste will do if they use a small amount..smaller than a pea. If they like to munch on it keep it out of reach for sure. An interesting alternative...its what my kids did when they were small...is to use MI Paste. (not the "plus", which has fluoride). It has calcium in it but no Fluoride and is edible (derived from milk products). Fluoride rinse at bedtime is your water is not fluoridated.

ADA seal : Toothpaste with ADA seal. Any product with ADA SEAL is to prove safety and effectiveness of any oral product. To protect kids from fluoride-related problems, parents should treat toothpaste like any other harmful chemical, medication and keep it locked up when not in use and supervise when in use. Hope it helps.
