Baby toothpaste?

My best friend was told by her dentist to stick to the age appropriate tooth paste. She was advised the same thing by her health visitor at her 9-12 month review and her little girl is now 3! I’d check with your dentist to be sure xx
Our dentist said use age appropriate due to the amount of fluoride in adults toothpaste . As the children can’t spit at this age . My daughter is 14 months old. We do her teeth in the bath every night and sometimes in the morning if we’re going out.
Maybe she said it because they can use it and it is cheaper than baby toothpaste. I would stick to 0-2 yo toothpaste.
Mine said exactly the same last week. Said to use our toothpaste because of the fluoride and it gets them used to the stronger taste. She said milk teeth doesn’t have enough fluoride and doesn’t clean the teeth properly x
@Amy that’s what I was thinking as he can’t exactly spit it out at his age so I figured baby toothpaste would be better because of this too
Thank you everyone ☺️
The health visitor gave me a pack with a wisdom normal toothpaste in to use, but she got white spots on her teeth even when using the smallest slither! So now I just use water of a morning and a baby toothpaste at night xx
I’m US based so maybe it doesn’t apply but that’s interesting to me - I’ve personally never heard about that
