Colgate Smiles is a unique range of products available in the UK that caters for children of all ages. Younger children have different needs to older children so Colgate have designed a number of products that are aimed at different ages, including a specifically developed toothbrush for 0 – 2 year olds.
Colgate Smiles toothpaste for 2 to 6 year olds has been designed in conjunction with paediatric dentists and offers children the best possible protection against cavities and decay. It has a mild mint flavour and contains a medium strength dose of fluoride to protect the enamel surfaces of the teeth. This toothpaste has been specially formulated for children with milk teeth.
Colgate Smiles 6 plus toothpaste contains a slightly higher dose of fluoride than the 2-6 toothpaste for additional protection. The toothpaste is designed for children with developing adult teeth and has been developed with the assistance of paediatric dentists.
All products in the Colgate Smiles range are brightly coloured and attractive to children; they feature children’s favourite film and television characters and are very user-friendly. Making the products attractive makes it easier for parents to get their children involved in oral hygiene, which means they are more likely to develop and stick to a good oral hygiene routine. This will hopefully mean they enjoy good oral health throughout their childhood and their adult life.
