Still working on updating that ol’ medicine cabinet. We, well I, switched to Preserve toothbrushes awhile back. (The hubby has since gone back to Oral B. I am waaaaaay to much of a lady to make any Freudian connections there…but you feel free.) We have yet to address the toothpaste..until now. So here is what we have tried so far….

Tom’s of Maine Natural Activity Fluoride Toothpaste For Kids Orange Mango 4oz 3.59… Recommend…Three big positives for this product are taste, lack of saccharine, and packaging. My kids both really like the taste. I have seen a new zeal for brushing. I’ve actually been using it too when my little ones aren’t looking. Price is on par with others. The packaging is also better than conventional toothpaste, aluminum recyclable tube. There is the plastic cap, but since it takes my kids about 6 months to a year to use one up, it is livable. The only down side is the husband. He seems to think there is something inherently unholy about non-minty paste.

I also tried the Lavender Mint, also by Tom’s, which came as a free sample. To be kind to Tom’s, if it got you all hot and bothered as a kid when your mama shoved a bar of soap in your mouth…well then run don’t walk to get this fine product. If you don’t happen to a sick bastard,…stick with the mango.

So unless you want your picture The Big Book of British Smiles…go brush your teeth!
