10 Best Kids' Toothpastes UK 2024 | Aquafresh, Kingfisher and More

Based on the traditional puppet show of Punch & Judy, this cult classic has been cleaning children's teeth for longer than most. It exceeds the NHS-recommended fluoride level, so it's sure to provide a more-than-adequate level of cavity protection. 

Their simple strawberry-flavoured toothpaste is incredibly popular with kids all over the world who don't like the classic toothpaste taste of mint  - although they do offer a 'hint of mint' flavour as well as a bubblegum (tuttifrutti) option too. Also the eye-catching packaging is sure to prompt some nostalgic entertainment at tooth brushing time.

This plastic free toothpaste in a glass jar is from the legendary vegan eco duo of Ben & Anna and it's aimed at kids. It offers gentle, vegan-friendly protection against tooth decay and bad breath, with a child-friendly fluoride level of 500 ppm. 

The subtle strawberry flavour is popular with children and the lack of plastic makes a very welcome change to most toothpastes out there. A cute mini bamboo spatula is included for adults to scoop out the contents with. The glass jar does however mean that children won't be able to 'helpfully' hold the paste, for safety reasons.

Jack & Jill offer this tempting organically-flavoured strawberry toothpaste, which has been produced with 100% natural and organic ingredients. With the inclusion of the plant-derived calendula, it's a great toothpaste to help soothe sore gums.

This Australian brand sources the finest all-natural ingredients, creating an amazing-tasting product using the sugar alternative xylitol, which is extracted from birch wood. This makes for an extremely popular health-conscious toothpaste, without fluoride, available in an impressive array of natural flavours!

A completely natural, organic and vegan toothpaste with a mild mandarin and aloe vera flavour, the all-natural ingredients list (and lack of fluoride) makes this a super-safe toothpaste if used or swallowed by even the youngest of children.

The good vibes don't stop there though, as Green People have added vitamin C, for protective antioxidant action on gums. This is a quality, conscious toothpaste that's recommended for children of all ages.

With a mild fruity flavour (reminding reviewers of bubblegum), this toothpaste has been made with completely vegan-friendly ingredients including plant-based calcium and calendula, which are designed to soothe sore gums and give added cavity protection. 

It's also fluoride-free, making it a safe option for kids of all ages. Knowing it's 100% certified organic gives you added assurance that the ingredients are safe for use by your children. All Lavera products are well-known for having excellent eco-credentials and this one has cute packaging too!

British brand Kingfisher emphasise that their toothpaste is blended from real fennel, strawberry and peppermint. This means no artificial flavours, colours, sweeteners or preservatives have found their way into this toothpaste. 

It's also a vegan-friendly paste, that's thoughtfully gluten-, GM- and SLS-free, so it's allergy-friendly too. Overall, this is a high-grade, fluoride-free natural toothpaste that also tastes great and can be used by kids of all ages.

Danish health and beauty company Urtekram pride themselves on being an eco-conscious brand focused on producing high-quality organic products. This children's toothpaste is no exception, with an all-organic and vegan blend that's fluoride- and SLS-free, making it safe for any kid to use. 

Its flavour actually comes from aloe vera, myrrh and magnolia bark - which may not appeal to all, but is sensibly marketed as 'tutti frutti'. These hard working ingredients protect the gums and help maintain good oral health. Compared to many organic children's products, it's also very affordable.

Sensodyne's Pronamel formula has been devised with input from dentists to protect and strengthen the enamel of the teeth. It's also a toothpaste with a high level of fluoride at 1,450 ppm, giving added protection against those dreaded cavities for kids in the age range of 6-12 years. 

Hopefully, the gentle-tasting mint flavour will suit kids of this age bracket, while freshening up their breath for the day at school. It's also a bit of a bargain, so it'll potentially be yours and your kids' go-to toothpaste for a few years to come. 

Zendium's natural toothpaste is designed for kids with milk teeth between the ages of 1 and 6. It has a low level of fluoride at 500 ppm, making it a less risky option if you're worried about the kids swallowing too much toothpaste. 

With antibacterial enzymes included to help the mouth's natural defences against infection, it's a thoughtful toothpaste that will promote good oral hygiene. The only point of possible concern is that these enzymes are derived from potential allergens of egg and milk proteins, which some kids might not get on with. 

The ever-popular Aquafresh have created a big toothpaste for little teeth. With 1,450 ppm of fluoride it's up at the recommended adult level. This gives your child maximum cavity protection but will require a little extra supervision to make sure they don't swallow too much. 

It's also flavoured with a hint of mint, which is good for fresh breath but may not suit the taste buds of some 3-5-year-olds. It's a cost-effective buy, though, so you won't take too much of a hit if they don't like it!
