The truth about toothpaste: Which is the best for your child?

The truth about toothpaste: Which is the best for your child?

Finding the right toothpaste for your child isn’t always straightforward. Between strong flavours, foamy textures, and confusing labels, it can be tricky to know what’s truly best for your little one’s oral health—especially if they’re neurodivergent or sensitive to certain ingredients.

That’s exactly why we created our Lil’ Smilers Fun Flavoured ToothpastesA toothpaste made for kids, with their specific needs, tastes, and sensory preferences in mind.

Here’s what makes a great children’s toothpaste—and why Lil’ Smilers is becoming a parent favourite:


Kid-Approved Flavours That Make Brushing Fun

One of the biggest reasons children resist brushing is simply because they don't like the taste of their toothpaste. Many traditional options are overly minty, spicy, or bitter—none of which appeal to young taste buds.

That’s why we offer a range of gentle, delicious flavours kids actually enjoy, including:

🍦 Vanilla Ice Cream

🍓 Strawberry Laces

🍉 Watermelon Burst

🥭 Tropical Mango

🍑 Peachy Peach

These fun, familiar flavours help transform brushing from a chore into something your child can look forward to.


🚫 SLS-Free = Less Foam, Less Stress

Many mainstream toothpastes contain SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate)—a foaming agent that can be irritating to the mouth and overwhelming for children, especially those who are neurodivergent or have sensory sensitivities.

Lil’ Smilers Toothpastes are proudly SLS-free, which means:

✅ Less foaming = more comfort

✅ Gentler brushing experience

✅ Reduced chance of irritation or sensory overload

We understand that less is more when it comes to creating a toothpaste children can tolerate—and enjoy.


🌱 Vegan and Sugar-Free for Peace of Mind

Toothpaste goes in your child’s mouth every day—so it should be made with clean, inclusive ingredients.

Lil’ Smilers toothpastes are:

100% Vegan

Sugar-Free

Made without animal-derived ingredients or sweeteners

You get all the taste without compromising on your values or your child’s health.
