Seeing your child smile will be more than enough to brighten your day, so why not help keep that smile bright with our pick of child friendly toothpaste that your little ones will love?

As parents, we all know how important it is to give our children a healthy, balanced diet so that they get all the nutrients they need to grow up healthy and strong. It’s just as important to teach them about looking after their teeth and getting the right toothpaste for your child will do just the job - just as it's important to get them a toothbrush that they love to use.

A lot of children don’t like the strong minty taste, and it might put them off wanting to brush their teeth. We have found eight child-friendly toothpastes that you will only need to use a pea sized amount for, from natural tasting to silly strawberry flavours, that will get your children racing to the bathroom to reach for their baby toothbrush and brush their teeth.
