What Toothpaste Package Type Is Best



You may have noticed that toothpaste containers have changed over time. Five to Seven years ago you would go to the store and only be able to purchase a few different types of toothpaste containers for your children. Lay down flat toothpaste containers may have been causing a nightmare for you. This can lead to toothpaste being everywhere as your children lose the cap three seconds after purchasing the new toothpaste.

Or every time you go in their bathroom the cap is off the tube and the toothpaste is crusty and hard around the top of the toothpaste causing your children to be brushing their teeth with expired toothpaste. A better option is purchasing toothpaste that has a wider base and can sit upright on the counter. This ensures that the toothpaste is not squeezed out and crusting at the top.

While toothpaste packing designs have not changed drastically over time, the lid is another area that has changed. Original toothpaste containers have very small lids that are easy for children to lose. Now, the lids are wider and make it easier to find when they are dropped. It also makes it more difficult to go down the bathroom drain when your children drop them.


For more information on toothpaste designs that are best, contact Dr. Fuller and his team.

A gap between the teeth

Image
When your baby’s teeth first begin to come in and you notice that gap between their teeth when they smile, the family may coo that it’s cute. "However, it is very important that if your child has a gap in their teeth due to a maxillary frenum, or another reason, that it be corrected," says pediatric dentist Dr. Cameron Fuller. Your child’s education, speech and self-confidence is dependent upon it being corrected at an early age.             As your child gets older they are working on saying certain sounds. Children who are younger than five should be developing the ability to say all of the sounds. After five if these sounds are not solidified it will make it much more difficult for them to learn to correctly speak. “And by age seven if the sounds are not correct they run the risk of never being able to say them correctly,” says Dr. Cameron Fuller .
