A slight amount of toothpaste is ingested even by adults during brushing..... this is never a major concern.... kids toothpaste are different from adult's toothpaste by 1 major factor of having less fluoride..... you can take any toothpaste containing less than 500 PPM of fluoride and that should be able to take care of your child's dental health adequately.... Regards.....
