Trivia
“Children should only use toothpaste after they learn to rinse their mouth.”

Most toothpaste for children contains fluorine and is effective for strengthening their teeth. Small children, however, have the tendency to dislike brushing their teeth, and there is a concern that they may swallow toothpaste since they cannot rinse their mouths thoroughly. Since toothpaste should basically be rinsed out of the mouth, children should use it only after they learn to rinse their mouths thoroughly.
