Can Toothpaste Cause Complications When Suffering From G6pd?

hi,

my daughter 3years old has G6pd. I'm not sure if toothpaste like Colgate is safe for her as I'm reading the ingredients nothing there is on the list of drugs and food to be avoided when you have G6pd. If so which toothpaste she could safely use?

Thanks,
