I have had the most difficult time ever getting Josiah to brush his teeth. The problem isn't that he won't stand still to brush, but he doesn't like any of the toothpaste except the baby kind that can be swallowed. It's been frustrating for me and I've noticed his teeth looking a bit yellow. I've tried many toothpastes in the past, but none of past the test, which is why I was so anxious to try the Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry Toothpaste.
I love Tom's of Maine products, so we participated in something called the "Silly Strawberry Swap" with other blogging parents. We switched out our children's toothpaste for the Silly Strawberry so we could see how it fared when compared to other toothpastes. I told Josiah we were going to try a new toothpaste and he was both excited and anxious due to past experiences.
During our first time brushing with Tom's of Maine Silly Strawberry Toothpaste he remarked,"Yum!!" and this is when I knew we had a shot at this one. I was immediately hopeful. Every time we brush, Josiah asks for his strawberry toothpaste and that's fine with me. I know he'll take the time to brush carefully and the way he should.
Tom’s of Maine Fun Facts:
- Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry is the first and only natural kid’s toothpaste to receive the American Dental Association’s Seal of Acceptance for its proven effectiveness.
- With no artificial dyes or sweeteners, Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry toothpaste gets its naturally sweet flavor from real strawberries.
- Tom’s of Maine Silly Strawberry toothpaste is available at retailers nationwide with and without fluoride.
- Tom’s of Maine donates 10% of its profits from all sales back to the community to help people and the planet.
I love using All-Natural products and have tried some toothpastes in the past. Unfortunately, most didn't taste very good. This is okay for adults, but the kids would have nothing to do with it. I'm so happy to find one that is all-natural, free of artificial dyes and sweeteners, AND that passes the Josiah test! He's old enough to know he should spit out toothpaste, but for Liam, we use the flouride-free toothpaste since he hasn't quite gotten this concept down.
I think all parents should try the Silly Strawberry Swap and see how your kids react to the delicious all-natural alternative!

We actually use tom's of Maine toothpaste
We use Oral B training toothpaste for the toddler and whatever's cheap for the older kids...it's imprecise but I couldn't tell you what kind is in there right now. :)
We're still using up the Oral B baby toothpaste I got at my baby shower. My little man's only HAD teeth for about 6 months LOL. We have Tom's of Maine, but I could only find the flouride kind at Target, so he doesn't use it as much since he's not even 2 yet and doesn't know to spit. :-/
