Why can't children use adult toothpaste?

First of all, it should be clarified that children should not brush their teeth with adult toothpaste.

Everyone knows that toothpaste now mostly contains fluoride.Although fluoride is a trace element essential to human health, consuming moderate amounts of fluoride can reduce tooth solubility and promote tooth remineralization, inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the mouth, and prevent tooth decay.The fluoride content in toothpaste is also limited.

The manufacturer of Jinmao Toothpaste for children in Suzhou reminds that, according to a study by the Institute of Environmental Health of the Chinese Academy of Preventive Medicine, experts recommend the maximum safe daily intake of fluoride for adults in China is 3.4 mg, the maximum daily safe intake of fluoride for children aged 7 to 15 years is 1.9 – 2.1 mg, with large consumption it can cause fluoride poisoning.To this end, China's national toothpaste standard also stipulates that the total amount of fluoride in fluoride toothpaste is from 0.05% to 0.15%, in particular, the total amount of fluoride in children's fluoride toothpaste is from 0.05% to 0 ,eleven%.

There is scientific evidence that the total amount of fluoride in children's toothpaste should be lower than that in adult toothpaste.Qin Lu toothpaste manufacturers believe that young children have poor self-control, prone to swallowing toothpaste incorrectly, generally, children aged 4 to 5 years will swallow 20% of the toothpaste, children under 3 years old mistakenly swallowed the amount of toothpaste paste up to 70%.It is widely believed in the literature that improper ingestion of fluoride toothpaste is one of the risk factors for the development of fluoride teeth.This directly leads to the appearance of white spots or yellow-brown staining of the tooth enamel, and in severe cases to a significant defect in the enamel.Therefore, Qinlu toothpaste manufacturers recommend that children under 3 years of age not use fluoridated toothpaste.Since preschool children over 3 years of age usually rinse their mouths and spit out foreign matter from the mouth, teeth can be brushed with children's fluoridated toothpaste, but each time the toothpaste is used the size of a pea and under the supervision of parents or teachers to prevent misingestion.
