Did you know 3 year olds need to get their teeth cleaned? Well, I was scolded by my pediatrician when my answer to that was, "no" so I immediately scheduled an appointment with a pediatric dentist. Definitely find a pediatric specialist because it makes the whole experience go down much smoother. In fact, it was quite pleasant for my tot. The place was decked out in a safari jungle theme with waterfalls and fish tanks, there were toys, play areas and a really great goodie bag that goes home with you. The doctor explained everything and let her touch all the instruments. My normally squeamish tot sat there and happily had her teeth cleaned (as in, with those metal picks!) and polished without a peep. I was so impressed already and then I find out that this doctor developed her own toothpaste that tastes like Vanilla ice cream! It does not contain saccharin or artificial colors or flavors and it is free of sodium lauryl sulfate which has been suspected of causing canker sores. It uses Sorbitol which is a natural sweetener from fruits and vegetables. I tasted this, it does taste exactly like vanilla ice cream so I don't need to convince you that your tots will love it! This is a fluoride toothpaste so make sure your tot knows how to spit before you start on any toothpaste with fluoride. Banilla Bling, $6 for 4.2 oz tube. Also comes in Cha Cha Chocolate.
