Dental cavities in kids are common ...mostly they are not due to deficiencies.
Sensodyne toothpaste is not recommended for kids .Age of the child is not mentioned so I can't prescribe tooth paste.
Though Colgate kids is usually fine for children.
Electronic tooth brush and flossing is not recommended to kids .
