Since we are doing our marketing plan on Crest Toothpaste, it is only right that we know why Children need different toothpastes than adults. From Crest's website it says that children need a toothpaste that does not contain the ingredient, Fluoride (Crest). Fluoride is a chemical compound that is found in many toothpastes now and if given to children too frequently or too much in one brush can cause a condition called Fluorosis, which is a condition that can cause white spots to appear on a child's adult teeth when they age (Baby Center).Fluoride does have benefits, but it does need to be minimized for young children and that is why I think because there is a risk, we should look at a toothpaste that helps prevent this condition, or in other words a non-Fluoride toothpaste.

You guys are going to create a new toothpaste fluoride free. The first thing you need to do is to determine the used of fluoride in the toothpaste. You need to investigate the reason why the people cannot used toothpaste created for Toddler
ReplyDeleteI agree with your information. Many kid's toothpastes contain such high doses of fluoride and sodium lauryl sulfate. There were many commercial brands of toothpastes as Tom's of Maine, Burt's Bees, Wedela are the best choices of toothpaste for kids because producers offered a safer, healthier product by reducing maximum these substances. Recently, Crest Pro-Health For Me Fluoride Anticavity toothpaste is made just for kids from 8-12 with helping prevent cavities and freshens breath.
ReplyDeleteI really like this post because it contains useful information! If I did not read this, I would have given adult toothpastes to children! I am looking forward to how this project goes from now on!
ReplyDeleteI read once that too much fluoride not only causes white spots on teeth it also makes teeth more fragile. The early exposure to fluoride causes chemical disbalance in teeth, which is not healthy.
