Kids, it’s time to feed your teeth!

Our Tooth Foods Kids Toothpaste is designed to nourish growing teeth, support gums, and work in harmony with saliva and the oral microbiome.

This toothpaste offers a subtle, unsweetened flavor that children enjoy without overstimulating their taste buds with artificial sweeteners. Instead of training the mouth to crave sugar morning and night, it supports a broader, more balanced sensory experience that encourages calm, consistent brushing habits.

By avoiding artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols, this formula respects the integrity of a child’s developing palate while supporting long-term oral health.

Why is this toothpaste different?

This is not a toothpaste designed to aggressively clean or sterilize the mouth.
This toothpaste is designed to feed your teeth.

Tooth Foods Kids Toothpaste uses a layered system of biomimetic minerals, enzymatic clays, trace minerals, supportive lipids, and quorum-sensing botanicals. This formulation works with saliva to nourish enamel, strengthen dentin, support gum tissue, and encourage a balanced oral microbiome.

It contains 10% dental-grade microhydroxyapatite, helping lay down protective mineral layers that support tooth strength and resilience over time. When teeth are nourished consistently, they are better equipped to defend themselves against everyday challenges.

Tooth Foods Kids Toothpaste is a resilient, restorative choice recommended by biological and holistic dental professionals, including dentists and dental hygienists.

It is free from sugar alcohols like xylitol, artificial sweeteners, fluoride, binders, synthetic hormone disruptors, added abrasives such as calcium carbonate and silica, and plastic-based ingredients.

All Tooth Foods oral care products are packaged in violet biophotonic glass jars made in Denmark. This specialized glass helps protect light-sensitive ingredients and supports long-term ingredient stability and bioavailability.

Ormalite

A naturally occurring mineral clay containing a broad spectrum of macro minerals and trace elements in exceptionally fine, biologically compatible forms.

In the mouth, Ormalite functions as a responsive mineral layer, supporting mineral balance along the tooth surface and gumline. It interacts efficiently with saliva, helping maintain conditions that favor enamel stability, gum resilience, and oral pH balance. Ormalite enhances how the entire formula performs by supporting refined mineral interaction rather than acting as a standalone ingredient.

Supports
Tooth surface mineral balance
Gum tissue support
Saliva mineral interaction
Oral pH stability
Overall oral resilience

Plant-Derived Mineral Complex with Fulvic and Humic Earth

This formula includes a plant-derived mineral complex paired with fulvic and humic compounds to enhance mineral bioavailability within the oral environment.

Plant-based minerals occur in an ionic, biologically compatible form that saliva can readily transport. Fulvic and humic substances act as natural carriers, helping guide minerals to teeth and gums while supporting cellular communication and microbial balance. This layer improves how minerals are absorbed, dispersed, and utilized in the mouth rather than remaining inactive.

Supports
Mineral bioavailability
Saliva nutrient transport
Enamel nourishment
Gum tissue integrity
Oral microbiome balance

Why this layered approach matters

Teeth are living mineral structures, and saliva is the delivery system that feeds them. By combining biomimetic hydroxyapatite with mineral clays and plant-derived ionic minerals, this toothpaste creates an environment where saliva can do its job effectively.

Instead of cleaning and stripping, this formulation feeds the teeth, supports the gums, stabilizes saliva chemistry, and encourages a balanced oral microbiome. This layered mineral intelligence is what makes the formula restorative, resilient, and suitable for long-term daily use in growing mouths.

Organic MCT Oil (Fractionated Coconut Oil)

Organic MCT oil is a refined, fractionated form of coconut oil rich in medium-chain fatty acids that interact intelligently with the oral environment.

In the mouth, MCT oil plays a key role in biofilm modulation. Rather than stripping the mouth or killing everything indiscriminately, it helps disrupt harmful bacterial adhesion, particularly acid-producing strains associated with enamel breakdown, such as Streptococcus mutans. This supports a healthier balance within the oral microbiome without compromising beneficial bacteria.

MCT oil naturally binds to plaque and biofilm on the tooth surface, allowing minerals and enzymatic ingredients in the formula to reach enamel and dentin more effectively. This enhances overall bioavailability and improves how active ingredients interact with teeth and gums.

Because MCT oil is metabolized differently from long-chain fats, it does not leave a heavy residue in the mouth. Instead, it supports saliva flow, lubrication, and tissue comfort across the gums, tongue, cheeks, and oral mucosa. This is especially beneficial for sensitive mouths and developing tissues.

Fractionated MCT oil is also sulfur-friendly, meaning it helps reduce volatile sulfur compounds associated with oral malodor by supporting microbial balance rather than masking odor. This contributes to a cleaner, fresher oral environment without harsh antimicrobials.

From a neurological standpoint, fractionated MCT oil is well recognized for its compatibility with the nervous system. Its clean fatty acid profile supports calm sensory processing and avoids overstimulation, making it particularly suitable for children and sensitive individuals.

Supports
• Disruption of harmful biofilm without stripping
• Reduced acid-producing bacteria such as Streptococcus mutans
• Enhanced mineral delivery to enamel and dentin
• Saliva lubrication and flow
• Gum and oral tissue comfort
• Oral microbiome balance
• Fresh breath through sulfur compound modulation
• Gentle sensory experience supportive of the developing nervous system

Why MCT oil matters in this formula

Teeth, gums, and saliva function as a system. Organic fractionated MCT oil helps create a lipid environment that supports enzymatic activity, mineral transport, and microbial balance, allowing the rest of the formula to work more effectively.

Rather than acting as a filler or flavor carrier, MCT oil is a functional ingredient that supports oral resilience, tissue comfort, and long-term balance.

10% Dental-Grade Microhydroxyapatite

ToothFoods Kids Toothpaste contains 10% dental-grade microhydroxyapatite, one of the highest concentrations used in children’s oral care.

Our hydroxyapatite is sourced from Fluidnova, a globally recognized European manufacturer known for producing some of the most advanced biomimetic calcium phosphate materials used in dental and medical applications. Their hydroxyapatite meets stringent European quality and safety standards and is widely respected for its purity, consistency, and performance.

Why Microhydroxyapatite Matters

Hydroxyapatite is the primary mineral that makes up:
• up to 97% of tooth enamel
• the majority of dentin
• bone structure

Because it is identical to what teeth are naturally made from, hydroxyapatite is fully biocompatible and readily recognized by saliva and tooth structures.

Rather than coating or masking damage, it works by integrating into the tooth surface, helping rebuild and strengthen from within.

Advanced Aggregate Size for Enamel and Dentin

The microhydroxyapatite used in this formula contains both nano-scale and micro-scale aggregates.

This matters because:
• nano-sized particles support surface-level repair and smoothing of enamel
• micro-sized aggregates support deeper interaction with dentin

Together, this dual aggregate structure allows minerals to support both enamel and underlying dentin, which is especially important for growing teeth and children prone to sensitivity.

Sealing, Repair, and Remineralization

Microhydroxyapatite helps:
• fill microscopic surface irregularities
• seal exposed dentinal tubules
• support remineralization of early enamel demineralization
• reduce sensitivity

Over time, consistent use helps teeth become smoother, stronger, and more resistant to everyday acid challenges.

Youthful Luster and Long-Term Resilience

As the tooth surface becomes more uniform and mineral-rich, light reflects more evenly across enamel. This creates a natural pearlescent luster without bleaching or abrasion.

For many children, this is the first time their teeth are being truly nourished with the minerals they are made from, rather than stripped or polished away.

Why We Use 10%

Teeth do not need harsh chemicals or excessive abrasion. They need adequate mineral availability.

Using 10% microhydroxyapatite allows saliva to continuously deliver calcium and phosphate ions to the tooth surface, supporting long-term strength, comfort, and resilience.

A little goes a long way.

Why This Matters for Kids

In ToothFoods Kids Toothpaste, microhydroxyapatite is used to support:
• growing enamel and dentin
• sensitivity protection
• early cavity defense
• long-term tooth integrity

It is a feeding strategy, not a coating strategy.

MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane)

MSM is a naturally occurring sulfur compound that supports the structural integrity and comfort of oral tissues and helps the mouth respond resiliently to everyday challenges.

In the oral environment, sulfur is a key building block for collagen and connective tissue health, which are essential for strong gums and periodontal support. Because MSM supplies bioavailable sulfur, it supports the maintenance of healthy soft tissues around the teeth and helps keep tissues more comfortable and responsive during routine oral function.

Laboratory studies show that MSM can encourage differentiation of stem-like cells in periodontal ligament tissue toward mineral-forming cells, which supports structural stability and may contribute to healthier bone and ligament interfaces near teeth.

MSM also has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping the mouth maintain a calmer, more balanced response to microbial challenges. Reducing excessive inflammatory signaling supports healthier gums and may help limit oxidative stress that contributes to tissue breakdown.

In formulations like toothpaste, MSM’s presence helps support:
• Gum tissue comfort and integrity
• Collagen and connective tissue support
• Saliva interaction with tissues
• Enhancement of mineral environments around the teeth
• Support for a balanced oral microbiome

Because it integrates well within a mineral and enzymatic‐focused formulation, MSM complements other ingredients that target enamel strength, microbial balance, and saliva chemistry. 
Making the overall formula more cohesive and functional for daily oral care.

Organic, Aluminum-Free Baking Soda (Sodium Bicarbonate)

Organic, aluminum-free baking soda is a naturally alkaline compound that supports oral health in several complementary ways.

In the mouth, baking soda works with saliva to neutralize acids produced by dietary intake and bacterial metabolism, helping raise oral pH after eating and reducing the duration of acid exposure that can contribute to enamel demineralization. By helping balance the mouth’s pH toward a less acidic state, baking soda supports conditions that are more favorable for remineralization and enamel stability rather than acid-driven breakdown.

Baking soda’s alkaline nature also helps disrupt the adhesive matrix of dental biofilms, making it easier for saliva and brushing mechanics to access and remove plaque, and reducing the ability of harmful bacteria to persist on tooth surfaces and along the gumline.

Because it is a mild, low-abrasivity powder, baking soda gently supports mechanical plaque removal without aggressive scratching of enamel or soft tissues. Its crystal structure aids in loosening surface debris and encouraging healthier interaction between saliva and oral surfaces, supporting both teeth and gum tissues.

This ingredient also contributes to fresher breath by helping neutralize volatile acids in the mouth that are associated with malodor and bacterial metabolism.

Supports
• Oral pH neutralization after eating and bacterial acid challenges
• Enhanced saliva buffering and acid resistance
• Gentle disruption of plaque biofilms and easier plaque removal
• Support for enamel stability and remineralization conditions
• Fresher breath through acid neutralization

Why baking soda matters in this formula

Rather than acting as a harsh scrub, organic, aluminum-free baking soda supports the natural chemistry of saliva and enamel mineral balance. Its role is to help create an oral environment where beneficial minerals, saliva enzymes, and the other functional ingredients in this toothpaste can perform most effectively.

Theobromine

Theobromine is a naturally occurring compound found in cacao that has been studied for its ability to support enamel strength and resistance to acid challenges. Research suggests that theobromine can support enamel remineralization by influencing how hydroxyapatite crystals form and mature in the presence of calcium and phosphate. In simple terms, it may help promote the development of larger, more stable hydroxyapatite crystallites, which can make enamel less vulnerable to acid attack.

Multiple in vitro studies have reported increases in enamel surface hardness and remineralization outcomes when theobromine is used on demineralized enamel, including studies comparing theobromine to fluoride-based controls.

In a mineral-forward toothpaste, theobromine is included as a functional cofactor that complements remineralization ingredients. While microhydroxyapatite provides the same mineral structure teeth are made from, theobromine supports an environment where calcium phosphate mineral dynamics can favor stronger crystal formation and enamel resilience. This is why the pairing of microhydroxyapatite and theobromine is often viewed as synergistic for enamel development, longevity, and a smoother, more lustrous tooth surface over time.

Theobromine also has research interest for microbial balance. Studies have explored cacao-derived compounds, including theobromine, for their potential to reduce caries-associated bacterial activity such as Streptococcus mutans and biofilm behavior, supporting a healthier oral ecosystem.

Supports
Enamel hardness and resilience
Hydroxyapatite crystal development in calcium and phosphate rich conditions
Remineralization support for early enamel weaknesses
Oral microbiome balance and biofilm modulation
A smoother, more youthful luster through healthier mineral density

Cranberry Seed Oil (Vaccinium macrocarpon)

Cranberry seed oil is valued in oral care for its ability to support gum comfort, microbial balance, and saliva function without disrupting the natural oral ecosystem.

Unlike harsh antimicrobial agents, cranberry seed oil works through anti-adhesion and tissue-support mechanisms, making it especially suitable for daily use in children’s toothpaste.

Anti-Adhesion Support for Teeth and Gums

One of cranberry seed oil’s most important roles in oral care is its ability to help reduce the ability of certain undesirable microbes to adhere to tooth enamel and gum surfaces.

By interfering with microbial attachment rather than attempting to kill bacteria outright, cranberry seed oil supports saliva’s natural cleansing process, allowing microbes to be more easily carried away.

This approach supports balance rather than disruption.

Support for Oral Microbiome Balance

Cranberry seed oil helps discourage the dominance of bacteria associated with plaque buildup and gum irritation while allowing beneficial microbes to remain part of the oral ecosystem.

This gentle modulation supports a microbiome state associated with healthier gums, fresher breath, and long-term oral resilience.

Gum Tissue Comfort and Integrity

Rich in essential fatty acids and antioxidants, cranberry seed oil supports the structure and comfort of gum tissues.

These lipids help nourish the soft tissues of the mouth, supporting hydration, elasticity, and a calm response to daily brushing, making it especially beneficial for children with sensitive or reactive gums.

Saliva Interaction and Protective Function

Healthy saliva relies on a well-balanced oral surface. Cranberry seed oil contributes to this by supporting smooth tissue surfaces and reducing friction at the gumline and tongue.

This allows saliva to move freely, transport minerals efficiently, and support enzymatic activity essential for oral health.

Why Cranberry Seed Oil in a Kids’ Toothpaste

Cranberry seed oil is gentle, effective, and biologically intelligent. It does not burn, sting, or overpower the palate.

In ToothFoods Kids Toothpaste, cranberry seed oil is used to support:
• reduced microbial adhesion
• balanced plaque formation
• gum comfort and hydration
• saliva-driven cleansing and protection

It is included as a functional lipid, not as a flavoring agent.

Why this formulation works

Every ingredient in this toothpaste is chosen to support the relationship between teeth, gums, saliva, and the oral microbiome. Rather than stripping or sterilizing the mouth, this formula nourishes it, helping build resilience and long-term oral health from childhood forward.

The essential oils in ToothFoods Kids Toothpaste are not included for sweetness or intensity. They are selected for how they interact with saliva, biofilm behavior, microbial signaling, and the sensory experience of brushing.

Rather than overpowering the mouth, these botanicals work subtly with the oral environment.

Biofilm Modulation and Microbial Signaling

Certain essential oil compounds influence bacterial communication pathways, also known as quorum sensing. Quorum sensing is how oral microbes communicate, organize, and form biofilms on the tooth surface.

By gently modulating these signaling pathways, the essential oils in this formula support saliva’s natural ability to manage biofilm development and microbial balance, rather than attempting to sterilize the mouth.

This helps encourage a shift in the oral microbiota toward patterns associated with fresh breath, gum comfort, and long-term oral health.

Saliva Stimulation and Fresh Breath Support

The aromatic profile of mint, orange, and warm botanicals encourages natural saliva flow, which is one of the most important protective mechanisms in the mouth.

Healthy saliva:
• buffers acids
• transports minerals
• supports enzymatic activity
• helps naturally cleanse the teeth and tongue

By supporting saliva rather than masking odors, this formula helps reduce microbes associated with halitosis while maintaining a balanced oral ecosystem.

Taste and Sensory Experience

This toothpaste has a mild, natural flavor profile designed specifically for children.

You may notice:
• a gentle brightness from orange
• a soft warmth from vanilla
• a light cooling sensation from peppermint
• a subtle sweetness from cinnamon that is not spicy

Eucalyptus, bergamot, frankincense, ginger, sage, and myrrh are present in very small amounts. They are not meant to dominate the flavor, but rather to create depth, balance, and a calming sensory experience.

There is no burning, no sharp intensity, and no lingering aftertaste.

Why We Avoid Sweetness

We intentionally avoid added sweetness.

Sweet flavors, especially when used morning and night, can stimulate sugar-seeking responses in the brain and condition the palate to expect sweetness during oral care. Over time, this can interfere with taste development, focus, and calm regulation.

Instead, ToothFoods Kids Toothpaste offers a multi-sensory, unsweetened flavor experience that supports a more mature, balanced palate while still being enjoyable for children.

How These Oils Support the Oral Environment

Together, these botanicals support:
• microbial balance without disruption
• saliva-driven cleansing and mineral delivery
• fresh breath through ecosystem support
• calm, pleasant brushing routines

They are used as functional oral botanicals, not as flavoring agents.

A little goes a long way.

Kids Fun: Turning Tooth Care Into Joy

Sing while you brush. Make up silly songs. Laugh, even if you don’t feel like it at first. Children feel joy through connection, and brushing time is a powerful moment to create it.

Talk to the teeth. They are alive and listening. Create stories while feeding their teeth. Let brushing be playful, imaginative, and relational. When you connect to your own inner child, your child feels it too.

Children learn by watching. Let them see you feeding, flossing, and brushing twice a day. If that means you brush more often just to brush alongside them, that’s okay. Modeling matters.

If your child resists feeding their teeth, slow down. Be patient. Bring dolls, figurines, or favorite stuffies into the routine. Read books, sing songs, and talk about why teeth are strong and important, even outside of tooth care time.

Never raise your voice, yell, or scold during tooth care. Brushing should never feel like punishment or pressure. Make sure your child isn’t overly tired at night, as fatigue often leads to resistance.

Tooth care is not just about clean teeth. It’s about trust, rhythm, and connection.

Remember to always feed your child’s teeth before breakfast, lunch, and dinner. After eating, finish with a quick dusting of Pixie Dust leave-on tooth vitamins.

Follow the seven steps to feed your teeth.
