Why does lavera not use fluorides in the Toothpaste Kids Fluoride-Free?
Many parents worry that small children might ingest too much fluoride by swallowing toothpaste. Babies and toddlers often do not yet understand not to swallow toothpaste. They also do not have the well-developed mouth muscles yet and therefore tend to swallow toothpaste more often than older children or adults. That's why lavera offers theToothpaste Kids Fluoride-Free, assuming there is sufficient fluoride intake for the milk teeth.
