We use a toothpaste with Xylitol. Xylitol kills bacteria. But don't feel too bad about the cavities. It happens. Some are more prone to them than others. My son, unfortunately, got my soft teeth. My son had 6 cavities and we used flouride toothpaste. Much of it has nothing to do with hygiene or flouride but rather the luck of the draw with genes.CherylHi everyone,My six year old son had to be put to sleep (gas) in and O.R. at a hospital to have two crowns and four cavities filled.

That is what I thought too, but apparently many things ( including

autism...ha ha...) are more than just genes and there are strategies

we were never told about. The mum who runs Nourishing Foods Recipe

Mailer LOVES toothsoap and has remineralized several of her teeth so

far using it. Warren cut all grains from his diet and c carbs sugars

and most starch - occassional young potatoes French style with

dinner...and had NO plaque on his teeth at his last dental

cleaning...he ALWAYS has more than average and needs needs - NEEDED -

more cleanings than most. My dd has " soft teeth " and had a little

hole bonded at 3 yrs old and needed to have two more little holes

taken care of at the next visit...well, come the next visit post

cutting almost all sugar - bit of honey, raw only, now and then and

the occassional real cookie with only real old fashioned ingredients

from the Farmers Market and a diet without any grains, starches, c

carbs...the holes did not need to be addressed and NO cavities. Read

Nourishing Traditions and see the sorts of desserts in THAT

cookbook...for your kids not on the spectrum there are nice options

and for the autism affected - and therefore casein free usually you

will find lots of encouragement for going th efruit as treat route

and info about what is REALLY Causing all those cavities. We added

high vitamin butter oil and fermented CLO to Matt's regimen - Green

Pastures Co...the teeth look SO much better, NO CAVITIES - woo

woo...and at this time we are using no toothpaste and many nights we

actually forget to brush - yeeps. Rethink what you think you know

about tooth care and you will be in for a big ol' shock at your next

dentist visit. We just got our toothsoap in the mail - the owner of

the comapny has a you tube thing on the product so you can go there

to check it out if you want...per our dental hygenist it actually

works...but like flossing most will not bother according to

her...well, we are going to bother in this house and hopefully kiss

dental bills and issues behind. Let me know how it goes...Di

we're going to be doing the same thing next month. My son is 6 and

has about 6 cavities - all between his teeth. He had severe sensory

issues - especially with his mouth. I could not even brush his teeth

until he was about 4 years old.

I go next week to talk to his doctor who will be doing the

procedure. I want to see if I can have his teeth sealed. I know

this is usually done on second teeth and I don't know if this is even

recommended. Is the sealant safe or just another toxin? I can't get

him knocked out every time he has a cavity to get filled.

Sealing the teeth, as far as dentistry goes from our ped dentist, is pretty common in baby teeth. I have no idea what it is so I can't comment on the toxicity level. But I can say that my son has had a 6 month checkup since his cavities were filled and his teeth are doing great now. No problems at all.Cherylwe're going to be doing the same thing next month.

We have never used toothpaste on any of our kids (now 9, 5, and 4). We use

the spin/battery operated toothbrushes with water; they get the teeth super

clean. None of them have ever had a cavity, and the dentist is always

amazed at how clean their teeth are. My husband and I had terrible

cavities, etc., when we were kids but our boys are doing great. We believe

that toothpaste is not necessary for young kids-its a marketing thing-it

just gives them something else to swallow that should not be swallowed!

Hope this helps.

Do you know what kind of tooth soap? And where she gets it? Thanks.
