Product Overview
HOMIE Children's Toothgel (45g | 1000ppm Fluoride | Co-Developed with Paediatric Dentist | 3 Flavours)
Most children's toothpastes either contain no fluoride, which provides no cavity protection, or contain adult-level fluoride concentrations that are inappropriate for toddlers. This toothgel is co-developed with a paediatric dentist to deliver 1000ppm fluoride, the concentration that both strengthens enamel and remains appropriate for children from 1 year with correct dosing.
Key Benefits
- 1000ppm fluoride formula: Clinically appropriate concentration for children from 1 year, strengthening enamel and protecting against cavities from the first application
- Dual-action cavity protection: Builds cavity resistance on tooth surfaces while simultaneously strengthening enamel structure from within
- No SLS and no paraben: Free from the two most common toothpaste additives that cause irritation and foam sensitivity in young children
- Low foaming formulation: Easier for toddlers to manage without gagging or excessive spitting during supervised brushing sessions
- Food-grade ingredients throughout: Every ingredient meets food-safe standards, appropriate for children who may swallow small amounts
- 3 flavours available: Natural, Strawberry, and Grape options help children accept brushing willingly rather than resisting the taste
Singapore parents are often unsure when to introduce fluoride toothpaste and how much to use. A toothgel co-developed with a paediatric dentist removes this uncertainty with clear, age-specific dosing: a rice grain amount for children aged 1 to 3 years, and a pea-sized amount from 3 years onward. This precision matters because both under-dosing and over-dosing fluoride affect its protective benefit.
The low foam formulation is a practical advantage at the toddler stage when foamy toothpaste causes swallowing reflexes and refusal. Less foam means less of the sensory overwhelm that makes so many Singapore toddlers resist brushing, which directly supports the twice-daily habit that paediatric dentists recommend from the first tooth onward.

FAQ
Is 1000ppm fluoride safe for children from 1 year?
Yes. Singapore's Ministry of Health and international paediatric dental guidelines recommend fluoride toothpaste from when the first tooth appears. The appropriate concentration for children under 6 is 1000ppm used in a rice grain amount for ages 1 to 3, and a pea-sized amount from 3 years onward.
Why is low foaming important for toddlers?
High-foam toothpastes, which typically contain SLS, trigger swallowing and gagging responses in young children. Low-foam formulations are easier to manage during brushing, reduce accidental swallowing, and make the experience more comfortable for toddlers who are still developing mouth control.
Which flavour should I choose for my toddler?
This depends entirely on your child's preference. The Strawberry and Grape flavours are popular with toddlers who resist Natural. If your child is introducing toothbrushing for the first time, starting with a flavour they enjoy increases the chance of willing daily participation.
A paediatric dentist-developed toothgel that protects, strengthens, and tastes good enough to make twice-daily brushing something your toddler accepts willingly. Free delivery on orders above $39.
