Caries prevention is the most important part of children’s dental care. The fluoride content of a children’s toothpaste is tailored exactly to the age of the child. Recent tests show: For children up to 6 years, baby teeth are best protected with a fluoride content of 500 ppm. Older teeth require more fluoride. For school-aged children, a junior toothpaste with 1000 ppm is recommended to adequately protect their new permanent teeth.
