Overview
•Sodium fluoride toothpaste is well established for cavity prevention when used as directed and spat out rather than swallowed.
•Children under 6 should use only a pea-sized amount and be supervised; swallowing more than the brushing amount requires medical help or Poison Control contact.
•Sodium lauryl sulfate may irritate sensitive mouths or worsen recurrent canker sores in some users.
•Flavor components, Blue 1, and other colorants can rarely trigger sensitivity reactions in susceptible individuals.
•Not intended to be swallowed; ask a dentist before use in children under 2 years old.
•Pregnancy and breastfeeding use is generally compatible with normal toothbrushing, but avoid intentional ingestion.
