Best Toothpaste for Kids by Age

Whether you’re brushing that first baby tooth or looking for the best toothpaste for kids to help encourage good oral care habits, here’s everything you need to know to find the best toothpaste formula for growing smiles.

As their smiles grow, their oral care needs also change. Look for a fluoride-free toothpaste option when brushing your little one’s baby teeth and their tender, delicate gums. We recommend Crest Baby Training Toothpaste with Winnie the Pooh, pairing it with an extra-soft bristled toothbrush specifically designed for kids for a gentler clean.

When considering the best toothpaste for kids aged 3 and up, fluoride takes center stage. Fluoride is the essential ingredient required to combat cavities and tooth decay, benefiting both children's primary teeth and their future adult teeth.

Some children may not mind the freshness of mint, however, in most cases a fun-flavored toothpaste is often preferred. Crest Kids’ Toothpaste feature flavors they’re sure to love such as Strawberry and Bubble Gum.

Crest Kids Enamel + Cavity Protection Strawberry Toothpaste is ADA approved. It helps prevent cavities and rebuilds tooth density for stronger teeth. Plus, it’s the best protection for kids from Kid's Crest, the #1 kids' toothpaste brand in America.

To encourage healthy habits, it’s important to keep brushing fun. That’s why Crest Kids’ Toothpastes are specifically designed to add a little excitement to their brushing routine.
