Why preventing caries in milk teeth is important

Children with tooth decay in their primary teeth often have bad teeth later in childhood.The National Association of Statutory Health Insurance Dentists warns that bacteria can multiply in milk tooth caries and affect the permanent teeth that later erupt.Abscesses can harm emerging teeth, and children who have baby teeth extracted are more likely to develop misaligned teeth or other dental problems later in life because the baby teeth act as space maintainers.

It has been scientifically proven that brushing your teeth with a children's toothpaste containing fluoride is sensible and effective from the first baby tooth onwards.Elmex children's toothpaste contains effective amine fluoride in the fluoride concentration of 1,000 ppm recommended by dentists for children.

Fluoride toothpaste for toddlers

Fluoride toothpaste is considered safe in the recommended amount and dosage.It only becomes a problem if large amounts of fluoride are ingested, as they can damage young teeth, cause discoloration or, as is known in dental fluorosis, make them appear stained.However, the risk of tooth decay and its consequences, such as tooth extractions, is usually greater than the risk of fluorosis, as children would have to swallow a lot of toothpaste over a long period of time until pronounced brown stains appear on their teeth.

Using the right amount of age-appropriate toothpaste reduces these risks.After age 6, most children's teeth are fully developed, so you no longer have to worry about fluorosis.

Elmex children's toothpaste contains the unique amine fluoride for a triple protection mechanism.Specially developed for special caries protection for milk teeth.The fluoride concentration of 1,000 ppm corresponds to the latest expert recommendation from the German Society for Pediatric Dentistry and the German Society for Preventive Dentistry.

Frequently asked questions & Answers

How much fluoride is safe for toddlers and babies?

The German Dental Association recommends that children between 2 and 6 years of age should use a pea-sized amount of toothpaste with 1,000 ppm fluoride every day.For children under two years old, it should only be a grain-sized amount of rice containing 1,000 ppm or a pea-sized amount of toothpaste containing 500 ppm fluoride daily.Once your child is older and can spit out the toothpaste, it is recommended to use a higher concentration fluoride toothpaste.
