I use hello

I use the Tom’s strawberry one with fluoride.

we can use fluoride?!?!

yes you can. Lots of people say no. But fluoride is actually good for their teeth. You would have to consume a butt ton of fluoride toothpaste and water to have problems. Dentists recommend using it. And for kids you only use a tiny amount that there’s even less problems than an adult

that’s probably why my girls teeth are turning yellow even tho I brush everyday 😫🙃

Yeah I see lots of problems with kids teeth and yet they don’t use it. And then some say it’s the opposite and it’s bad and blah blah blah. I’ve also hear that in other countries teeth are worse than the states because they don’t use fluoride as much/ there isn’t fluoride or a lot in the tap water and the states does have so people get it that way as well

have you brought her to the dentist? I would suggest going. They want you to go when your child first gets teeth and then every 6 months after that. We’ve gone twice but it took so long because we ended up moving and needed to find a place

we’ve been booked out since she was 11 months so I gave up searching and then lucky got a spot open for this Friday

Girl I second Tom's. I used a fluoride free one (jack and jill) til she was about a year and half and I regret it. Her teeth have enamel issues and her front top teeth look so bad. 😬 I thought fluoride was horrible but turns out she really needed it.

oh yay good!

Just one more ques- are your kids able to spit out after brushing or they can swallow paste during brush?

Lumineaux fluoride free!

fluoride is a neurotoxin

we try to teach spitting out but at 2.5 he still doesn’t really. But it’s such a tiny bit that it doesn’t really matter so when you brush their teeth you can teach them. And show them how you spit out. But the probably won’t know how to do it for a little bit

my kiddo is still learning to spit. I take a wet cloth and wipe out her mouth after brushing for now.

just the regular crest kids
the natural stuff was not doing it for their breath …😭

Yes it is classified as a neurotoxin which is why it is not recommended as an additive in drinking water. However it does benefit young children's teeth in appropriate amounts. When brushing a young childs teeth you use an amount the size of a grain of rice. Neurotoxins are used in many things in the medical world from heart drugs and chemotherapy to botox. They can be toxic if not used correctly.

We use the orajel kids bubblegum toothpaste . It does have fluoride

We use a kids fluoride toothpaste at night and a fluoride free one in the morning.

I use hello! My daughter loves the unicorn flavor!

I heard this one is a really good brand and has low fluoride in it.
