melissel Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 My mom bought the kids the Sparkle Fun flavor at Walmart, and when I opened it that night, there was no foil seal on the tip. I'm pretty sure the trial sizes we had were sealed, but I can't remember for sure. The kids don't remember removing it. WWYD? Would you go ahead and use the toothpaste anyway? Or would you toss it? I hate to waste it :sad: TIA! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forget-Me-Not Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I just bought some. DH says he's pretty sure ours had one. I'd take it back to the store and exchange it if you bought it without one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JudoMom Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I'm thinking it has a seal, too. It's been awhile since I've bought it, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enough Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Definitely should be foil sealed! This is all we use- MIL is a dentist and we get tons of the trial sizes- so I know for sure it should be sealed. I, personally, would not use it. It just freaks me out to think of the reasons it might have been opened. :ack2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoVanGogh Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I just bought some this afternoon at Target so checked it. The tube does not have a foil seal, but the box is sealed at both ends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardening momma Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 The trial sizes that come from the dentist are foil sealed because they usually come without a box. Full size toothpaste from the store often does not have a seal because as Suzanne said, they come in a sealed box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChristusG Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 I think that a lot of toothpastes don't come with foil seals anymore. I opened one a few weeks ago (not the kind you have) and it did not have a foil seal. Kinda freaked me out a little. It's not the kind of boxes that actually seal on the ends either. It's just the kind that you can open and close. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
