ProudGrandma Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I am not looking to debate whether or not flouride toothpaste is good, bad or indifferent...I am simply looking for brands that your children will use. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TracieT Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 My kids like the Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry. I think I've tried the Burt's Bees Orange one, too, but I think they prefer the strawberry. I have to buy those brands because the main ones (Crest, Colgate, etc.) all have dye and my youngest is allergic. Plus the main ones have saccharine.

FrogMom5 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry. We tried Burt's Bees, the orange flavored one, but they didn't like it. Denise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raceNzanesmom Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We made the switch to Eco-Dent tooth powders about 4 months ago. I'll never use anything else. They're fluoride free, glycerin free and SLS free. Plus, you can't beat the price. That little bottle really does last over 200 brushings. We like all the flavors. My 3 y/o daycare boy prefers the lemon-lime. The rest of us like the mint or cinnamon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reading Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 If I remember well, Tom's of Maine is pretty abrasive. My favorite non-flouride "toothpaste"? Dissolve some xylitol in a bit of water and put some on a toothbrush. If desired, add a drop or two of liquid peppermint castille soap. It works well on its own, though.

Mergath Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 We use Burt's Bees- I think it's cranberry flavor, whatever is in the pink and white box- and my dd loves it. I have to tell her not to eat the toothpaste off the brush. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailofsparks Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Trader Joe's - Fennel (b/c it's $1.99 per tube!) It didn't take them long to get used to the flavor. We started 2-3 yrs ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TracieT Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 I've used the Eco-dent powders...mint and lemon-lime. My kids did NOT like either one. That's been a while, though. I think I found Eco-dent at Whole Foods once (I've only been there twice) and I'm thinking the other time it was at my local health food store. Vitacost.com has it, too.

kolamum Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 Snappy Jaws Strawberry. Not only is it fluoride free it's made with Xylitol which is good for the teeth and can help stop tooth decay and has been proven to reverse it. :D I only went with it because it was Fluoride free. Not only don't we want the kids have the fluoride, one of our children has a chemical reaction to fluoride where it will literally turn his teeth green. It's gross and creepy.

~Tara~ Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 JASON SeaFresh seems to be the house fave. But they also like PowerSmile and the orange one, though we rarely get that because it's a smaller tube ;) They also use Burts Bees. Just mint, nothing 'special', I don't know if it has some other name. We found Toms of Maine to bee too stringy. We had such a hard time getting past that I'm not sure anyone cared to comment on taste. LOL But SeaFresh...definitely! Minty, but mild enough for sensitive kids. (PowerSmile packs a pretty hefty peppermint kick, it's too much for my youngers, who never complain about anything) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawn in OH Posted May 28, 2011 Share Posted May 28, 2011 Tom's of Maine. We currently have peppermint because that's all the store had last time we needed some. I suspect they would prefer the Silly Strawberry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
