Recently, with the continuous increase in children's oral health attention, how to choose safe and effective fluoride toothpaste has become a hot topic among parents. Industry experts and dental institutions jointly released the purchase standards and recommended list of fluoride toothpaste for children, clarifying the core indicators and ingredient requirements, helping parents accurately lock in anti-cavity products and protect their children's dental health.

According to the national standard "GB/T 8372-2017 Toothpaste", the fluoride content of children's fluoride toothpaste must be controlled in the range of 0.05%-0.11% (500-1100ppm). Less than 0.05% cannot form an effective fluorine protective film, and the anti-moth effect is ineffective; Above 0.11% can easily lead to excessive fluoride intake in children and increase the risk of dental fluorosis and dental fluorosis. For children under 3 years old, it is recommended to choose a low-fluoride version of about 0.05%, and the dosage is controlled to the size of a grain of rice; 3-6 years old can choose 0.08%-0.10%, and over 6 years old can approach the 0.11% upper limit, and each dose is the size of a pea.

The choice of friction agent is directly related to the safety of children's tooth enamel, and priority is given to mild ingredients such as hydrated silica and food-grade silica. These friction particles are fine and round, with an RDA value of less than 250, and do not damage young tooth enamel when cleaning plaque and food debris. It is necessary to avoid coarse friction agents such as calcium carbonate to avoid long-term use of abrasive tooth surfaces and cause dentin sensitivity.

At the same time, high-quality children's fluoride toothpaste should be free of artificial colors, irritating preservatives, SLS foaming agents, and natural fruity flavors to reduce children's resistance to brushing. At present, brand products such as Besno and Aitara on the market meet the standards, with fluorine content accurately controlled at 0.09%-0.105%, and with mild friction agents, the measured moth prevention rate exceeds 90%.

Dental experts remind that the rate of tooth decay in children remains high, and fluoride toothpaste is the most economical and effective means of preventing cavities. When purchasing, parents should look for the two cores of national standard fluoride content and mild friction agents, and purchase products with the "Little Golden Shield" logo through formal channels, with the correct brushing method, in order to truly build a solid line of defense for children's oral health
