test criteria and ingredient analyzes

The toothpastes tested were intensively examined for questionable ingredients, including heavy metals and fluoride content. The manufacturers had to offer their products for children up to the age of six or without age restrictions. An important finding was the lack of problematic titanium dioxide in most toothpastes, while Cariogenic sweeteners such as Maltodextrin were listed in some products, which led to devaluations.

An internal report by Öko-Test explained that the packaging, the dosage and the correct age became. The toothpastes must consist of environmentally friendly materials, and the recyclery share in the tubes has also been checked.

In addition to Öko-Test, the Stiftung Warentest carried out a similar test on 26 children's tooth pastes. According to family.de 12 products were rated here with "very good", 2 with "good", 5 with "satisfactory" and 9 with. Examples of highly valued toothpastes are the Elmex children's toothpaste with a grade of 1.1 and the signal kids toothpaste with 1.2.

Both tests emphasize the meaning of fluoride in the toothpaste, which is essential for caries prophylaxis. One of the challenges is that children often swallow toothpaste, which is why the selection should be carefully made to minimize the risk of fluorosis.

Overall, the current test series shows that there are a number of recommended toothpastes for children that are both favorable and high quality and do not contain any harmful ingredients. Parents can therefore be sure that good care for the teeth of their offspring can also be gentle on the wallet.
