Good children's toothpaste? are there any good toothpastes for children that don't taste like bubblegum or candy? i'm not really comfortable with how some of these are marketed.

The : The best source of a recommendation is your child's pediatric dentist. He / she will know what is best for your child. The three most important factors are that the toothpaste is ada approved, contains the recommended level of a Fluoride compound, and attractive to your child so that they will want to brush.

Pediatric : Pediatric dentists are great resources. If marketing or taste is your only objection, then "normal" regular toothpaste should be considered. Avoid the tartar control or whitening products, just get the "normal". It is a fine line with children's products. They taste good because we want children to want to brush, yet we don't want them to taste so good that children swallow the product. If you buy small doses of adult toothpaste and supervise the use, you should be safe.

Options: Depending on the child's age using a small quantity of adult toothpaste is an option . The younger the child the less you use, adult toothpastes tend not to be sweet.. Infants or children younger then 2 dont even need toothpaste on their brush.

Pro health: There is a tooth paste by pro health for children it is great. I use it for my children.

ProHealth for Kids: Made by sensodyne. Kids like the taste and it doesn't have whitening or tarter control ingredients that are aimed at adults. Remember to use only a pea-sized portion of toothpaste...The Fluoride is very important to prevent cavities. Ask your dentist or preferably pediatric dental specialist for advice.
