Kid-popular foods and drinks like soda, fruit juice, ketchup, raisins, citrus fruit and yogurt can contribute to acid erosion, a growing and irreversible problem. Fortunately, there are a few simple things parents can do to protect their children, including limiting acidic foods and beverages, and encouraging them to drink juices with a straw.

What is ProNamel for Children?
Sensodyne ProNamel for Children is the first children’s toothpaste scientifically proven to re-harden tooth enamel, helping to protect against acid erosion as well as cavities.

Protecting Children's Teeth From Acid Erosion: Tips For Parents

1. Know which foods and beverages are high in acid and may contribute to enamel wear. About one in eight moms recently surveyed said they are not sure what foods and beverages could contribute to acid erosion in children. Foods and beverages with high acidic content include soda, fruit juice, ketchup, raisins, citrus fruit and yogurt.
2. Encourage children to drink acidic beverages like fruit juice with a straw and to avoid holding them in the mouth to help minimize contact with teeth.
3. Have children brush their teeth before eating, or have them wait at least one hour after. Nearly half of moms (45 percent) mistakenly believe that it’s best for a child to brush less than 20 minutes after eating and drinking acidic foods and beverages, but that is the time when their teeth are most susceptible to further damage because the enamel may have been softened.
4. Talk to their child’s dentist. More than four out of five moms (83 percent) said they have not had a conversation with their child’s dentist about acid erosion.

Directions for use

Brush twice daily for 2 minutes

*Children over the age of 6 years: Use as you would an adult toothpaste.

*This product is specifically recommended for children over 6 years. However, your dentist may recommend a 1450 ppm fluoride toothpaste for children aged 6 years and under if they are at risk of cavities and/or acid erosion and need extra protection.

*Children of 6 years and younger: Use a pea-sized amount for supervised brushing to minimize swallowing. In case of intake of fluoride from other sources consult a dentist or doctor.
