The whitening toothpaste from Colgate also remineralises enamel and its foam, with active oxygen, gives you a warming sensation as you brush. That being said, nearly 75% of people in the U.S. have fluoride in their water, according to the ADA, so you might already be getting it outside of your toothpaste.

Fluoride has certain benefits for your teeth such as remineralizing, antibacterial properties, and preventing future decay.

Also, while I've found standard adult toothpaste is actually pretty hard for little hands to maneuver, my kids were also able to snap open the Tom's Silly Strawberry lid themselves and squeeze the paste onto their own toothbrushes without making a mess — for once. We know that fluoride has strong antibacterial and plaque-prevention properties. It's "an effective remineralizing ion," Dr. Field explains, which helps reset the pH balance after we eat and drink so that the acidity doesn't cause our enamel to become demineralized, which can in turn cause cavities.
