Drug Overview

friendly® hello® is a fluoride toothpaste designed specifically for kids ages 2 and older. It helps protect against cavities and prevents them from forming, while also polishing and brightening teeth. Additionally, it strengthens enamel, which is the protective outer layer of your teeth.

This toothpaste features a wild strawberry natural flavor that makes brushing more enjoyable for children. It is accepted by the American Dental Association® and is made without artificial sweeteners, dyes, or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), making it a safe and vegan choice for your child's dental care.

Uses

Using this product can help protect your teeth against cavities and prevent them from forming in the first place. It also works to polish and brighten your smile, giving you a more radiant appearance. Additionally, it strengthens your enamel, which is the hard outer layer of your teeth, helping to keep them healthy and resilient.

Dosage and Administration

To keep your teeth healthy, it's important to brush them thoroughly, ideally after each meal or at least twice a day. This applies to both adults and children aged 2 years and older. If you're helping a child between 2 to 6 years old, make sure to use only a pea-sized amount of toothpaste and supervise them while they brush and rinse to prevent swallowing any toothpaste.

For children under 2 years old, it's best to consult with a dentist or physician before starting any brushing routine. They can provide guidance tailored to your child's needs. Remember, good dental hygiene is essential for everyone!
