Guest guest Posted January 16, 2003 Report Posted January 16, 2003 The only Tom's for children (strawberry, I think) that I've found contains flouride. I simply brush a tiny bit of my no-flouride Tom's on his brush and this does the trick. He likes using 'Mama's toothpaste'. I use the fennel flavour which he likes but I avoid the peppermint which is 'too spicy'. For real cleaning though the cloth and water are used. When he 'brushes', he simply sucks the toothpaste.

She's just starting to complain that the peppermint is " too spicy " , after years of using it. Weird. Also FWIW, we avoid toothpastes that have goldenseal and/or myrrh in them, because my understanding is that children shouldn't ingest them. Liz Quote
