Children's toothpaste
Children's toothpaste refers to the toothpaste that is applicable to children under the age of 12 (including 12 years old). The claimed efficacy categories of children's toothpaste are limited to cleansing and caries prevention.
Products that use words such as "适用于所有人群 (applicable to all people)", "全家使用 (available for all family members)" or use trademarks, patterns, homophonic expressions, letters, Chinese Pinyin, numbers, symbols, packaging forms, etc. to imply that the use group includes children shall be managed as children's toothpaste.
Toothpaste efficacy claims
Toothpaste claims to have anti-caries, dental plaque inhibition, anti-dentin sensitivity, gum problems relief, and other efficacy, the human efficacy evaluation is required to carry out; toothpaste only claims to have cleansing efficacy can be exempt from efficacy evaluation; for those that achieve anti-caries by adding fluoride, and fluoride meets the "test item requirements", they can be exempt from the anti-caries efficacy evaluation.
