What is this product?
Whitening toothpastes marketed to pre-teens and teens containing hydrogen peroxide or high-RDA (Relative Dentin Abrasivity) silica. Developing enamel in children is thinner and more porous than adult enamel, making it more susceptible to peroxide damage and abrasive wear. Many contain SLS (causing oral ulcers), titanium dioxide nanoparticles (whitening opacifier), and artificial sweeteners. Children under 12 swallow an estimated 30-75% of toothpaste during brushing.
