Toothpaste can be divided into three types: multi-foam, medium foam and less foam. The amount of foam depends on the soap content of toothpaste. Soap-washed toothpaste contains high soap content, which is easy to stimulate oral mucosa in the mouth. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the soap base index of toothpaste and choose toothpaste with lower content.

There is no uniform standard for "special toothpaste"

"Mom, I want this!" In supermarkets, mothers are often seen taking their children to choose toothpaste, and children are often attracted by toothpaste with bright colors, special shapes and unique "flavors", such as orange flavor, cherry flavor and peach flavor. Parents are inevitably worried. Is this fragrant toothpaste safe?

The reporter found that many brands of children's toothpaste did not explain the added ingredients such as paste color and fragrance. Shi Jianjie said that at present, there is only toothpaste standard GB 8372-2001+0 in China's toothpaste industry, which only involves the physical and chemical properties of toothpaste, including net content, expiration date, sensory, hygiene indicators and fluorine content. However, the function and scope of use of toothpaste are not specified, and special types such as children's toothpaste are not specified. In this case, manufacturers only produce according to their own enterprise standards. It seems essential to make children brush their teeth more scientifically and healthily, and to fill in the blank of children's toothpaste production standards.
