We all want what’s best for our children. From what we tell them to eat to ensuring they get enough sleep each day, we advise them with their BEST HEALTH in mind. One other thing we tell them to do is to brush their teeth at least twice a day. Well, what if I told you that the brushing you’re telling your children to do may be harming them?
That’s right. In fact, over-the-counter toothpastes may actually be causing more harm than good to your children's oral health. This is because of the chemicals and artificial ingredients inside them, including fluoride, which is actually toxic. (1)
This danger has made it difficult for you to find the RIGHT WAY for your child to enjoy greater ORAL and BODILY HEALTH. But there’s no need to worry about that anymore, as there is an ALL-NEW and ALL-NATURAL TOOTHPASTE you can feel good about giving your child, and that’s because it’s FLUORIDE & ALCOHOL FREE!
In this blog we talk about the dangers of over-the-counter toothpaste to children, and the natural way they can enjoy HEALTHIER SMILES and STRONGER ORAL HEALTH today!
The first thing to know about over-the-counter toothpaste is that it often contains fluoride, something we’ve all heard of and have grown (unhealthily) used to seeing down the aisles of pharmacies and supermarkets. But not many people know that fluoride is not some magical oral care ingredient, but rather a mineral literally found in dirt.
So why is this so dangerous? Well, the amount of fluoride that’s in our supply of water and natural supplies can pale in comparison to the concentration the mineral comprises in over-the-counter toothpaste, making it that much more dangerous to children. (2)
Fluoride can be so dangerous to children that it can even lead to dangerous reactions in their kidneys, which can lead to both short and long-term health problem ... yet over-the-counter children’s toothpastes still contain it! (3)
One of the major problems with children and the use of over-the-counter toothpaste is a condition called fluorosis. Fluorosis is caused by excess intake of the fluoride found in these toothpastes, and is so bad for children that it’s recommended that they don’t even fill their toothbrush with toothpaste all the way.
Fluoride is so dangerous it’s recommended that a simple mark of toothpaste be used because of these dangers in an attempt to prevent pits and discolored permanent teeth. This is especially hard because children love to swallow toothpaste, especially when flavored. (5)
Fluoride is not the only problem you need to look at when deciding whether over-the-counter toothpaste is safe for your children. There are other ingredients in these toothpastes that aren’t safe, such as sodium laurel sulfates (SLS) and parabens that can cause health problems your kids definitely don't want.(6)
Not only are children more prone to enjoying the process of eating toothpaste, but they also don’t know the correct way to brush. This is why it’s recommended that they stay away from fluoride. Without supervision, it can be difficult to know if your child has swallowed their toothpaste.
This confusion with brushing leads many parents to have to look around their children’s mouths to see if their child has ingested too much toothpaste. Relying on this method is not an effective way to determining whether your child is in danger or not. (7)

If not careful, the excess use of over-the-counter toothpaste can lead to permanent issues in your child’s mouth that only a procedure can fix. This is why going FLUORIDE-FREE is so essential, as using over-the-counter toothpaste can cause your child to struggle with their oral health for the rest of their lives. (8)
In addition to the fluoride in over-the-counter toothpaste, you need to watch out for hydrated silica – which is commonly found in over-the-counter toothpastes, and can lead to enamel problems, the complete opposite of what you're trying to achieve with toothpaste.
These ingredients are actually abrasive, and not the kinds of things you want in your oral care products. In fact, they can lead to remineralization issues, the potential for cavities, and teeth problems that can be hard to reverse. (10)
The other concern with over-the-counter toothpaste is that it’s a problem that worsens over time. If you let your guard down, these brushing habits can cause your child problems that can be hard to reverse down the line. (11)
