2 months back i brought little Matty to the dentist.
he has early infant caries. sigh
so being the paranoid mum, i quickly text the cousin in australia to buy home some toothpaste for the boys.
check out the Maclean Milk Teeth toothpaste! for 0-3 years old.
in fact, babies should and can use fluoridated toothpaste.
when i told the dentist that i have been purchasing non-fluoridated toothpaste for my babies, she was astounded! she doesnt know there exist such toothpaste!
even if the babies/tot cant spit, they can still use the non-fluoridated toothpaste. the amount will not cause fluorosis.
my bad, i havent been reading on it. i made the decision to purchase non-fluoridated by just listening to other mums' suggestion.
why do i need to get these toothpaste across the ocean?
because i do not like the idea of buying Coca-cola flavoured toothpaste. or any fruity funny flavours for my children.
i prefer toothpaste to be mint.
and i want them to be able to transit easily to adult toothpaste in future.
Matty is ok with Mint.
before the árrival' of these toothpaste from Au, i asked the babysitter to apply very very very ultra thin layer of adult toothpaste for him.
initially it was spicy for him, but after a few times, he got used to it. good boy! :)
kind-hearted cousin bought so many tubes! i think it could last them the entire childhood! serious!
KJ is now using adult Colgate- 24 hours. because our favourite paeds dentist recommended it. she claimed that that is the only toothpaste so far which is quoted in papers.
