Just to note, it is important that your child uses the appropriate toothpaste for the appropriate age. They have suitable levels of fluoride for a specific age group. Children toothpastes tend to be quite "tasty" and so kids may consume them. If they ingest a significant amount of fluoride while their adult teeth are developing, the adult teeth will tend to have white or yellow spots around them called fluorosis or hypomineralisation. This weakens the teeth and are more prone to tooth decay in the future. Furthermore, they are usually unaesthetic. On the other hand, correct amounts of fluoride is essential in preventing tooth decay and maintaining the health of the teeth. So please continuing using the toothpaste!
