Gluten Free Toothpaste For Toddler

[nitu-752002]

Does anyone know if Gerber Tooth & Gum cleanser has gluten, milk or soy in it? Also is there a gluten free toothpaste? Thanks

I don't know about Gerber. I use Weleda Children's Tooth Gel.

Ingredients: Glycerin, water, silica, algin, calendula officinalis flower extract, foeniculum vulgare (fennel) oil, mentha viridis (spearmint) leaf oil, esculin, limonene.

Here's what it says on the side of the box...

Childrens' Tooth Gel Developed in coopertion with dentists, Childrens Tooth Gel is specially formulated to help maintain the health of baby teeth and keep the flora of the mouth in natural balance. Biodynamic Calendula, a soothing herb, helps keep the gums and oral cavity in good condition. Children love the bright color of the gel and the pleasant taste of the natural essential oils. The gel has been carefully formulated to avoid substances that may be harmful if swallowed.

Free of fluoride, detergents, synthetic fragrances, colors, preservatives and raw materials derived from mineral oils.

I buy it at Whole Foods.

Please double check me, but I believe all Crest toothpastes are gluten-free. Again, please call to confirm, but when I called to check on the regular paste I think they said all were.

Has anyone ever found a toothpaste (or any dental product) that definitely has gluten. I know there are companies that have the standard legal statement about not being able to guarantee what their suppliers do and some will state gluten-free.

Tom's of Maine toothpaste is gluten-free...you can look at the faqs on their website. They say that some toothpaste companies brush their machines with wheat flour which is where the gluten comes in....Tom's of Maine says they don't do that.

*yes, I think Crest is all gluten-free too.*

Hi,

I know that Orajel toddler training toothpaste is gluten free. My daughter has been using this for 2 years. Hope this helps.

Earth's Best by Jason has gluten (from oats). I called to ask because my son was using it. I replaced it with Weleda which he HATED, so for a week I just used a wet toothbrush! Yesterday the bottle of Spry I ordered arrived. He is marginally accepting of the Spry. He used to love brushing with the Earth's Best:( & now I think brushing is going to become a battle of the wills....).
