Unnecessary Additives
It’s no secret that it can be a challenge to get kids to brush their teeth. That’s why you’ll see all sorts of children’s dental products from toothpaste to mouthwash in a rainbow of fun colors! However, have you ever thought about where those tantalizing hues come from? The truth is, many of them contain artificial coloring. While that may not mean much to some parents, it may mean the world to you if your little one has an allergy or sensitivity to popular artificial coloring options like Red #4 or Yellow #5.

How Do Artificial Dyes Affect Children?
Artificial food dyes are found in all sorts of things, including candy, sports drinks, cereal, fruit snacks, and yes, dental products like toothpaste and mouthwash. While these dyes may appear harmless, they can sometimes cause adverse health or behavioral reactions in children.
Some children are allergic to artificial food dyes. Just like children with sensitivities to certain types of metals, these allergic reactions demand adjustments in everyday life. Many parents search high and low to create a dye-free diet to keep their little ones healthy and comfortable.
Other parents dedicate their home to dye-free diets due to behavioral reactions. Scientists have examined the relationship between food coloring and ADHD or aggression for decades. While no conclusive evidence has shown that these are linked, numerous anecdotal accounts have convinced parents to adopt this lifestyle for their own children.
