The Curaprox Kids Toothpaste with Fluoride is a gentle, great-tasting children's toothpaste from Swiss oral care brand Curaprox, available in three flavours with fluoride levels matched to your child's age. It's free from SLS, triclosan and microplastics, and combines fluoride with enzymes and xylitol to help protect developing teeth against acid and decay.
Choose the flavour that suits your child's age:
- Strawberry (2+ years): 950 ppm fluoride, a lower strength for younger children, with a mild, fruity taste.
- Watermelon (6+ years): 1,450 ppm fluoride, the strength recommended for older children, with a sweet, juicy flavour.
- Mint (6+ years): 1,450 ppm fluoride with a kid-friendly mint, a good stepping stone towards adult toothpaste.
What's inside
- Fluoride (sodium monofluorophosphate): The ingredient most strongly proven to help strengthen enamel and protect against tooth decay, at an age-appropriate level in each flavour.
- Enzymes (amyloglucosidase and glucose oxidase): Included by Curaprox to support saliva's natural protective role in the mouth.
- Xylitol: A natural sugar alcohol (birch sugar) that plaque bacteria can't use like sugar.
- Gentle foaming agents: Lauryl glucoside and cocamidopropyl betaine instead of sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS).
- No added sugar: Sweetened with sucralose and xylitol.
How much to use
Curaprox follows guidance from the European Academy of Paediatric Dentistry:
- Ages 2 to 6: Brush with a pea-sized amount of the Strawberry (950 ppm) toothpaste.
- Ages 6 and up: Brush with a pea-sized amount of the Watermelon or Mint (1,450 ppm) toothpaste.
Brush twice a day for two minutes using small, gentle circles. Encourage your child to spit out the excess rather than swallow it. Parents should help with brushing until around age eight to ten, and supervise until children can brush thoroughly on their own.
Best For
The Curaprox Kids Toothpaste with Fluoride is a great option for parents who:
- Want age-appropriate fluoride protection for their child's teeth
- Prefer a short, gentle ingredient list without SLS, triclosan or microplastics
- Have a child who prefers a fruity flavour, or one ready for a mild mint
- Are pairing it with Curaprox's ultra-soft children's toothbrushes
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Prefer a fluoride-free toothpaste; see the Curaprox Kids Toothpaste Zero Fluoride Strawberry
- Have a child under two; speak to your dentist or clinic sister about the right toothpaste and amount
Good to Know
The Watermelon and Mint flavours have a higher fluoride content (1,450 ppm) and are intended for children aged six and up. Always supervise young children while brushing and keep toothpaste out of their reach. If your child also takes fluoride from another source, check with your dentist.
Pandylane Pro Tip: Squeeze the toothpaste onto the brush yourself and press it into the bristles. It's the easiest way to control the amount and stop it sliding off before brushing starts.
