The milk-tooth enamel of children aged 3–6 is thinner and more vulnerable than the permanent enamel of adults. This means that the abrasiveness, concentration of active ingredients and flavourings designed for adults may be excessive or uncomfortable for a child.
Rubella Beauty Dental Pro Kids 3–6 years was created with these characteristics in mind:
- Gentle cleaning — the formula removes plaque without being overly harsh on sensitive enamel and gums.
- Remineralisation — the toothpaste contains ingredients that help replenish minerals in the enamel, which is particularly relevant for milk teeth.
- Safety if swallowed — adult toothpastes are not designed for this, and children of this age do not always spit out completely yet.
- Mild berry flavour — children usually accept the taste of raspberry and strawberry more readily than the intense menthol of adult toothpastes, which often causes discomfort and reluctance to brush.
Using adult toothpaste for a child aged 3–6 is not recommended — not because it will cause immediate harm, but because it does not meet the needs of children's oral hygiene as effectively and safely as a specialised product. If you are unsure which toothpaste to choose, a dentist can help you find a suitable option based on the condition of your child's teeth.
