Why should we use a kids toothpaste for 6+ year old kids?
Kids who are 6 years or older (till 12 years) need a specialized kids toothpaste which caters to their stage of dentition. They have a mix of milk and permanent teeth. They also have a high sugar/acid exposure from diet and have a lower salivary flow vs 13+ YO - which means there is less neutralization of acids in the mouth - impacting the child's oral health. Hence, even 6-12 year old kids need a specialized kids toothpaste.
