What is a good tooth paste for a 2 year old?!
Question: My son does not like the fruit flavored childrens and say the adult tooth paste is to spicy.
Answers:
I don't know if he'd like it, but maybe try 'Aim'? Or just go to the dentist and ask.

try some kind of character toothpaste.
the kind that you can eat and wont die from
i think colgate makes that kind with stupid colorful animals right on the tube.
there is a toothpaste for littler kids, its some kind with Little Bear on it. My little brother tried it. I never did, so I dont think it has a fruity taste, i think it may just be unflavored. you can get it at like any store
i brush my kids teeth with spongebob bubble gum flavored toothpaste. its not fruity.
My daughter was the same way. She likes AIM, though. It doesn't burn as bad as some of the others.
as ur son is only 2 yrs old it may help you to use a tooth paste designed for milk teeth wich comes in a stawberry flavor i would not give him ur tooth paste as this will burn his little mouth
You can try Tom's toothpaste. It's all natural so the flavor is not so strong as with the artificially flavored ones.
medicated toothpest
My 3 year old loves Orel B's Stages in Berry Bubble, it's a little fruity, a little bubble gummy, not too overpowering either way heck, I wish they made it in adult strength!
Did a baby in two years have tooth...
I don't know if this is the best but our children and their cousins use "first teeth" baby tooth paste. By Laciede, Inc. based in rancho dominguez Ca.
Maybe you can find it online, we order it for our office through a Dental Supply company. I can't get the tube away from him.
Also if he is not in college yet your going to need to brush his teeth for him. Before the age of 6 they lack the dexterity to brush ALL the teeth. After 6 they lackthe motivation.
Try using a finger brush goes over your index finger and has little rubber bristle's on the end so you can feel his teeth while your brushing and you know your getting all the surfaces.
good luck
any toothpaste that is non fluoridated,cos fluoridated ones if accidently swallowed may cause fluoride poisoning.
hi, i dont know what area you are in or if your water is fluoroudated, im a dental nurse working in an area that doesnt have fluoride in the water. we reccomend that every one uses a fluoride toothpaste that contains at least 1000ppm (ppm = parts per million) this information can be found on the ingredients label, 0-2 years should use a "smear" of toothpaste on their tooth brush and 2yrs and above should use a small "pea" size ammount. children should be supervised when brusing and should spit excess toothpaste out, they shout NOT be encouraged to rinse as this removes the fluoride that is left in the mouth coating the teeth. kids are safe from any fluoride poisoning as long as they are supervised and are not eating the toothpaste (which many acctually like!)

um the bubble gum kind works good too because my nephew likes that one .also try spearment or pepperment.
Try Oral B it is fluoride free so even if he swallows it it will not harm him in any way and it will train him to have his teeth brushed. Good Luck
