It is added to oral care products as it helps prevent against tooth decay. For the same reason, drinking water is sometimes fortified with extra fluoride – a process known as fluoridation. 1

Toothpaste for babies and children often contain less fluoride to minimise the risk associated with swallowing. In addition, many baby toothpastes come in child-friendly flavours to encourage brushing, while the specially formulated foaming action helps to surround each tooth – keeping your baby’s teeth and gums healthy as they develop. Wipe dribble regularly to avoid their mouth and chin becoming sore. If it looks red, add small amounts of petroleum jelly or a water-based cream to sore areas to protect the skin and help it heal.
