Size for a starter. Littlies need the tiny brushes to fit in their mouths. Then there’s the firmness. So yeah, I would think age appropriate toothbrushes are needed

Yes. There can be to much fluride in adult toothpaste for young kids and the mint tends to actually burn there sensitive mouths aswell

i just use what is recommended for their age group because then it is not too strong because they will end up eating a little when they are learning

For under 6 it is good because its about the strength and taste for them but as they get older you can use adult toothpaste but just smaller amounts especially as kids these days are eating more sugar and things.

Great question I always buy the age one that they specify but are we all just wasting our money??

Yes definitely, you want to be sure the toothpaste is designed for their specific age to ensure it is not too strong for their baby teeth!

I think their mouths are too sensitive for adult strength toothpaste.

if you don’t they could be too strong for your kids and turn them off wanting to brush

Agreeing with a few comments here, I dont think little kid should have adult toothpaste

Did you find out whether this is the case?

which toothpaste did you use?

I think it is important because I believe there are different levels of flouride in them

Which toothpaste did you end up using?

What did you end up using?

I have always stuck with age appropriate toothpaste.
