Description
● A watermelon-flavoured gel zettoc kids toothpaste made in Japan for children aged two to five. ● Sweetened with xylitol, with no fluoride, no mint, no ethanol and no artificial colouring. ● Low-foaming gel texture, 70g tube.
Getting a three-year-old to brush is mostly a flavour problem. Standard toothpaste is mint, mint is spicy to a small child, and once brushing becomes a fight it stays a fight. Zettoc toothpaste for kids exists to remove that obstacle: the watermelon gel tastes like a sweet, and there is no mint burn to argue about.
Zettoc has been manufacturing toothpaste in Japan since 1954 and splits its children's range by age. The watermelon version is the younger tier, formulated for ages two to five, and it is a gel rather than a paste. Sweetness comes from xylitol, which makes up a substantial share of the formula, and the brand has deliberately left out fluoride, artificial colouring and ethanol at this age band. Foaming is kept low, which helps when a toddler cannot reliably spit.
The tube is 70g and the format is squeezable enough for small hands with supervision. It is worth being clear about what this is and is not: it is a mild, pleasant-tasting gel designed to make daily brushing happen. Fluoride toothpaste is regulated differently in Canada and sits in a separate category. If your dentist has recommended fluoride for your child, discuss it with them before switching.

Zettoc is a Japanese oral care manufacturer that has been producing toothpaste since 1954 and holds ISO and GMP certification for its facilities. The company's children's range is organised by developmental stage rather than sold as a single product, with different formulations for children still on baby teeth and those whose permanent teeth have started coming through. Flavours across the range lean deliberately away from mint, covering watermelon, strawberry and cola, on the reasoning that a child who likes the taste will brush without being argued into it. Zettoc products are available in Canada through C&C Canada.

Two to five years. Zettoc makes a separate formulation for children aged six and over, which is when the first permanent teeth typically come through.
No. This variant is formulated without fluoride. If your dentist has recommended a fluoride toothpaste for your child, follow their advice.
It is formulated for an age group still learning to spit, with low foaming and no ethanol. Use a pea-sized amount, supervise brushing, and encourage spitting out. If a large amount is swallowed, contact a poison control centre.
Mint reads as spicy to most young children and is the usual reason brushing turns into a battle. A fruit flavour removes that objection.
A pea-sized amount is enough for this age group. More does not clean better and simply increases how much gets swallowed.
