"Show me the child at the age of seven - and I'll show you the adult!"
Many of our behaviours are fixed from a very early age.
If dental hygiene is part of our childhood - it is likely to continue throughout our lives.
With this in mind, we took a close look at dental care products for kids.
We looked at the quality of the product - does it work effectively without harming?
And we looked at the entertainment factor - will the little rug-rats actually use it?
These are our recommended
Top Ten 10 Dental Care Products for Kids.
My First
Toothbrush

A cleverly designed product
from Colgate.

Young children in our tests
found the chunky handle
easier to hold than many of
the skinny brushes on the
market.

Colgate have a great
section for kids on their
website, with games, info,
and lots of  freedownloads.

This Organic Mandarin Toothpaste from Green People is
Safe, healthy and very tasty!
Children often swallow toothpaste instead of spitting.
Some dental products contain detergents & can cause upset tummies.
These problems will not occur with Green People products.
Kids love this Mandarin Toothpaste! And so do we!
These Advanced Power Brushes from Braun Oral-B are perfect for

Our experts thought these were the best toothpastes. They are all non-foaming, they contain no chemical detergents, they
are safe for very young children (who tend to swallow their toothpaste) and they all contain natural, gentle, ingredients.
