HeatherL Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I am hoping someone can help me out! My 4 year old son does not like the blue gel toothpaste. He wants the plain white kind that mom and dad have, but I can't tell if any of the kid's toothpaste comes this way. From the bottles they all look pink or blue gel, but I can't be sure without opening them and I don't want to keep wasting money. So... if anyone uses a plain kid's paste please share with me the brand. Thanks!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest submarines Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Spry xylitol toothpaste is white and safe to swallow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbrother Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 They are flavored but the Toms of Maine toothpaste is white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lula Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Toms of Maine has a non-gel kids toothpaste. My son uses the strawberry flavored one since he is anti-mint/cinnamon and most common adult toothpastes seem to be some variety of mint or cinnamon.

HeatherL Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 Why can't he use the same toothpaste you do? I thought kids weren't supposed to use adult formulas in case they swallow too much... am I wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktgrok Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Tom's of Maine has a strawberry kids one that is a white paste. Kids toothpastes generally have the same level of fluoride as adult paste, the only difference is the flavor. There are very few that are fluroide free...Spry is, Burts Bees might be, I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amy1k Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My daughter also uses Tom's strawberry paste because she is sensitive to mint flavors. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They make "fluoride-free safe to swallow" toothpaste that is labelled for kids under 2, but the 2+ toothpastes I looked at all had the same fluoride content as adult paste.

Ellie Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I dunno. We always just had one tube of toothpaste that the whole family used (one bathroom for all). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocketgirl Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I get the wanting a paste instead of gel, i'd recomment Crest original (regular?). Crest has a bluish tinted paste that isn't too strong p.s. at our last dentist visit, october, my dentist told us the kids shouldn't rinse after brushing!!! to leave that last bit of fluoride on their teeth, but yuck! We use ACT rinse anyway so that didn't matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtney.byrum Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My son likes the Aquafresh for Kids - it looks similar to the regular aquafresh but is less minty :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anabelneri Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 My older daughter also uses Tom's Strawberry, with flouride. My younger primarily uses Weleda Calendula toothpaste, which doesn't have flouride. It's white and pasty, and it has an anise/black licorice flavor. She really really likes it. Good luck! Neither of my girls like mint either. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chepyl Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 We use Tom's strawberry for the kids and Tom's mint for us. Ours has no flouride, but the kids paste does.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxMom Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Tom's makes both fluoride and non-fluoride, at least in the Silly Strawberry flavor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
