The purpose of this article is to review about importance of toddler tooth paste in children and to discuss in detail about Ethiaspire toddler tooth paste formulated recently for children.
Importance of Toddler Toothpaste for Children
Toddlers are at a critical stage of dental development. Their baby teeth, though temporary, play a vital role in speech development, chewing, and guiding the growth of permanent teeth. Because of poor oral health which begins early in toddlers, about 24% of toddlers under the age of 36 months and 57% children aged 36-71 months suffer from early childhood caries (ECC) which is also called as nursing caries or baby bottle tooth decay [4,5]. Nursing caries refers to decayed tooth surfaces of the primary or milk teeth of children up to the age of 6. Nursing caries can cause pain and infections, and in severe cases require hospitalization [4,5]. Introducing proper oral care early helps prevent cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues. However, toddlers have unique needs when it comes to toothpaste. Their developing teeth and gums require a gentle yet effective formula, free from harmful ingredients. Additionally, toddlers typically do not have the high sugar and high acid diets of adults or older children. Hence, they do not need the harder abrasives and cleaning agents in their tooth pastes [4-7]. Toddlers are also known to swallow tooth paste. About 65% of toddlers even during rinsing swallow tooth paste. Moreover, majority of children’s tooth paste are not safe to swallow because of parabens, foaming agents or fluoride content present in those tooth pastes [1-5]. Moreover, some tooth pastes meant for adults contain remineralizing potential are also not good for children with early childhood caries [3,6,10].
What Makes Ethiaspire Toddler Toothpaste Special?
For optimal oral health in children, xylitol toothpaste with fluoride is generally recommended, provided the child is old enough to spit out toothpaste and avoid swallowing it. However, if fluoride-free toothpaste is preferred (e.g., for very young children), Ethiaspire IE Calcium Carbonate Toothpaste can be a suitable alternative [10].
Ethiaspire Toddler Toothpaste is specifically designed with the needs of young children in mind. Here are some of its standout features:
- Safe and Non-Toxic Formula
- Ethiaspire Toddler Toothpaste is free from harmful chemicals like fluoride, SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulphate), and artificial sweeteners. This makes it safe for toddlers who are still learning to spit out toothpaste and may accidentally swallow it. SLS or other foaming agents can irritate the mouth and potentially cause mouth ulcers. While fluoride is an effective anti-caries agent, it is not considered safe to be consumed by children.
- The formula is made with natural ingredients ensuring, it is gentle on child’s delicate teeth and gums.
- Kid-Friendly Flavors
- Teaching children’s new habits is tough, as ‘fun’ flavours and colours in toothpaste can be distracting. Hence, this toothpaste is free of these distractions, so toddlers can learn that toothpaste is only for brushing and not for eating. Children toothpaste comes in mild, pleasant flavours that kids love, making brushing a fun and enjoyable experience [10].
- The Flavors are designed to encourage toddlers to brush regularly without resistance.
- Effective Cleaning
- Despite being gentle, Ethiaspire Toddler Toothpaste is effective in removing plaque and food particles, helping to prevent cavities and maintain oral hygiene.
- It contains natural cleaning agents that are tough on dirt but soft on enamel.
- Dentist-Recommended

Xylitol is commonly found in sugar-free foods and kids oral care products. |
