toothpastes for kids

See all posts on Teeth

UPDATE: Weleda Child Tooth Gel is very nice and my kids have been using it. It's got a light mint taste (my son doesn't like adult mint toothpastes, but he likes this one).

After trying several safer toothpastes, I like Nature's Gate toothpaste. But, I want to switch up the toothpaste for my toddlers, too. They've been using Tom's of Maine strawberry toothpaste (comes with or w/o flouride). I don't want a mint flavored one for them, and no flouride.

I was surprised that there were several brands I will be looking more into. All of these following are rated a "1" on the EWG Skin Deep site. (0 is their perfect score. I'm willing to live with a 1 or 2)

*I've also used the Tom's of Maine Homeopathic Apricot and really like it, although I don't like using it all the time. I figure that for my kids it's a good all-around solution: safe and flavored sweetly.
