Weleda Children's Tooth Gel, 1.78 oz

 (11 customer reviews)

I purchased this tooth gel when my son was about a year old. I choose it because it doesn't have the sweetener sorbitol in it. We have found that all members of our family are sensitive to sorbitol (it causes bloating and diarrhea) and couldn't find an oral care product that didn't have it until this one.My son, who is now 2, loves the tooth gel. He likes to suck it off his toothbrush, so we work quickly to get his teeth brushed. A little bit goes a long way. It does a good job cleaning and it leaves his breath minty fresh. A definite plus in a toddler!There's no worry of him swallowing too much, or of overdosing on fluoride because there isn't any. Because it tastes so good, it encourages him to learn to brush his teeth. It also makes a good stand in for adults if you don't have your own toothpaste on hand.

I did tons of research to find a good toothpaste for my 10 month old when she had two teeth and I wanted to start getting her used to brushing them. We ended up with a banana teether toothbrush which is another great product, but I wanted to have something to help clean the teeth. I found this and was relieved that it didnt have all of those ingredients that I couldn't pronounce or figure out what they were that the other children's toothpastes have. It just takes a tiny amount of this gel on her brush and the tube will last me a very long time, we haven't even made a dent it it hardly and we have been using it nearly every night for the past 4-5 months now. And it must taste pretty good because my daughter gets really excited when I get it out of the cupboard and she mostly sucks it right off the brush if I just hand it to her without helping her.

This tooth gel is great. I love that the flavor is minty. I think that will make the transition to adult toothpaste easier. The gel is softer so that it can cling to the brush and not just fall off into my daughter mouth.
