We've found it to be the nicest-tasting. They come in mango and strawberry as far as I'm aware. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071655 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:14:54 +0000 regberadaisy 2071655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We've always used real toothpaste. She got spitting down at a very young age. Every now and then she'll swallow some but not a big deal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071649 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:11:45 +0000 autumnlove 2071649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A little after 2. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071645 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 11:09:26 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2071645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do a smear of fluoride toothpaste.

I still do it, so it will be a while for us until he learns how to brush himself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071549 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 10:24:57 +0000 mamimami 2071549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My daughter (2 years 4 months) still uses nothing (since we ran out of training toothpaste). She still fake spits (makes a spitting sound but nothing comes out), so we will not switch her until she knows how to REAL spit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071501 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 09:52:34 +0000 JerricaBenton 2071501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went to the dentist right before LO turned two and she said to finish out our training toothpaste and start on just a smear of regular. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071493 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 09:50:34 +0000 mrsjazz 2071493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We started using regular toothpaste as soon as the ADA changed their recommendations. So, they say you should use a tiny smear of regular toothpaste as soon as baby teeth come out and a pea size I think once kids turn 2 or 3 I don't remember. You can check out the ADA's website for the exact recommendation. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071492 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 09:50:22 +0000 yellowbird 2071492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We alternate at our house. I try to brush with fluoride toothpaste at last once a day but she still had a couple tube of the training kind and she likes that better. Usually I'll let her brush with the training kind then when it's my turn I'll use fluoride. She's pretty good at spitting. I only use a rice size amount in the brush and I'm not worried about her swallowing it. She's 2.5! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071485 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 09:47:33 +0000 Mamasig 2071485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 just went to the dentist - he's 29 months. They said it was time to switch him over to the kids toothpaste. He caught on pretty quickly on he whole spitting the toothpaste out thing. We got the kids crest samples so we've been using those. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-your-lo-stop-using-toddlertraining-toothpaste#post-2071440 Mon, 16 Feb 2015 09:24:19 +0000 Bao 2071440@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We currently use Tom's training toothpaste for both of our LO's. They are running low and I was curious if I should continue having my 2.5 year old use training toothpaste or buy her something else. We have been trying to teach her to spit in the sink so hopefully she masters that soon. </p> <p>When did you switch your LO from training/toddler toothpaste to kids toothpaste? Which kind do you use? </p>
