You can deny it all you want, but kids get bad breath too. Most of the time it is a result of something they ate, just like with adults or it can be attributed to poor dental hygiene practices. Baby bad breath usually means that breast milk or formula has been left too long on the surface of the little one’s gums. In kids chronic bad breath is caused by the same bacteria that cause gum disease in adults.

As parents and caregivers, we have always been taught that fluoride is good for the teeth and dental gum health. This isn’t as true as we have been led to believe. Fluoride can cause damage to the teeth enamel and cause future sensitive teeth for our kids. In addition to fluoride not being so great, some of the other traditional toothpaste ingredients lists are damaging as well. You may want to consider fluoride free toothpaste for your family just to be on the safe side.
