Warnings & precautions in children

Fluoride-containing products should not be ingested

Excessive use of fluoride by children during tooth formation may cause fluorosis (spotted enamel, zebra-like teeth). The vulnerable age phase is in particular between ½ and 4½ years, because the visible enamel of the incisors is formed during that period. Fluorosis can only be noticed after the age of approximately 6 years, when the permanent teeth have come through.
