Overview
•Contains 0.24% sodium fluoride for topical anticavity use; avoid swallowing large amounts, and supervise children to minimize ingestion.
•Recommended by the manufacturer for ages 2+, but young children should use only a pea-sized amount and should be taught to spit properly.
•Sodium lauryl sulfate can irritate sensitive mouths or worsen recurrent canker sores in some users.
•Sodium benzoate, potassium sorbate, mint oil, menthol, and flavouring ingredients may trigger irritation or sensitivity in susceptible individuals.
•Generally suitable during pregnancy when used as directed as a toothpaste, but avoid intentional swallowing and ask a dentist or clinician if using additional fluoride products.
•If using chlorhexidine mouth rinse, separate it from SLS-containing toothpaste because SLS may reduce chlorhexidine activity when used immediately together.
