Q.

What toothpaste is best for 2.4 year old. I got Colgate 0-2 yrs toothpaste. However, it says, need to watch kids while brushing and ask them to spit it out. I don’t understand how could that be possible every time? If the toothpaste is intended to 0-2, it means it is safe to swallow which in reality isn’t from the description given behind it

A. Hello, your baby boy is 2.4 years old and if you are using a Colgate glow baby then it’s okay otherwise you can use any Ayurvedic toothpaste like babool or miswak

A. Generally babies won't need a toothpaste until they are two years old or atleast 18 months old as they should know how to goggle before using a toothpaste. After which you can use fluoride free toothpaste (check if colgate is fluoride free) in peanut size quantity to brush the kids teeth. Make sure they don't swallow more toothpaste that is why a peanut size quantity is recommended. While choosing the toothbrush make sure the bristles are soft and the tooth brush handle is angular for easy accessibility and reaching till the ends.
