Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 You can use the Tom's of Maine toothpaste available at whole food stores and sometimes target. It is also important to clean her mouth so she has that extra oral stimulation. Toothpaste Question Kristan's breath can smell pretty bad and I do take a cloth and wipe her mouth, but I think I need to use toothpaste. My problem is that she hates having her mouth cleaned and even if I use a tiny amount of toothpaste, is it ok if she swallows it? She won't spit it out, she doesn't understand, behind in her development. I was going to get the Ultra brite toothpaste, I hope it is available, I haven't checked yet. What do other parents with little ones do? Satnam, mom to Kristan, 22 months today Keto kid since August 2003 " The Ketogenic Diet....a realistic treatment option, NOT just a last resort!

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Satnam - we use the regular original Tom's of Maine. I think Lily likes it, and likes the stimulation. I hope Kristan has had an easier time of teething than Lily did. It took forever for her teeth to com in and she suffered terribly. I think the stimulation is good for a number of reasons and you only need a dab smaller than a pea for a toddler. It won't matter if she swallows some.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2004 Report Share Posted September 28, 2004 Dear Satnam We use Arm & Hammer. has had a hard time with toothbrushing, but is doing better and better since the diet. She always swallows the toothpaste. Never spits. No problem with it, and it was recommended at diet onset by dietitian. Easy to find anywhere. , 's mum cchatch1402 cchatch1402@...> wrote: Satnam - we use the regular original Tom's of Maine. I think Lily likes it, and likes the stimulation.
