have people heard about the new recommendation from ADA that parents should start using a smear of fluoride toothpaste as soon as teeth emerge?
i was also surprised to read that in at least one dentist's experience, use of non-fluoride toothpaste did not make a difference:
Most of the children she sees with tooth decay are using “a training toothpaste without fluoride,” she said.
man, i thought we were doing the right thing!
