We love Colgate in our home.

Isn’t the best way to have healthy teeth is to get your kids to brush regularly? Then it doesn’t matter so much if they over indulge at Christmas or Easter etc

Its important! That’s interesting! Thanks for sharing this!

Ahhhh And I’m still trying to teach my kid not to eat the toothpaste!

great to read these fantastic

Useful advice

Brush brush and brush some more!

great to read

I sometimes find it hard to get my children to clean there teeth. I got them electric toothbrushes this has helped me.

We stick to giving little eggs rather than big ones, that way they can have one little one at a time without over doing it.

We try and have water or milk after our chocolate. Plus, we do use this new Colgate toothpaste. My son is fussy, but loves this one.

Having worked with a dentist I have always followed his advise & have practised good oral hygiene with my kids & now grandkids. Regardless of what sugary intake always brush their teeth soon after & you will soon see they learn this habit & it becomes second nature to them.

Thanks for the advice.

chocolate is better than lollies as it does not stick on your teeth like toffees do!

Great advice thanks. Our 4th child is only 2 and every few days will ask for her toothbrush around lunch time too. I can’t see the harm her brushing an extra time or two, especially over Easter. A lot easier than the objections I had from one of the other kids at that same age every night.

Wish they had this toothpaste for younger kids to no matter what I say my grandmother thinks mr 3 should eat lots of chocolate she sneaks it when I’m not looking

  Maybe Grandma should be asked to help the children clean their teeth when you know she has given them extra chocolates.

Establishing a good oral hygiene habit at a young age is important and finding a toothpaste that the kids like is important as they will not use it if they do not like the toothpaste. We have trialled a few different types and found one that works. It has to be a taste that can be tolerated. Some toothpaste has a stronger flavour and can be overwhelming for kids.

The one thing my Dentist told me was that it is not a good idea to brush your teeth straight after eating sweet things as it actually rubs the sugar into the enamel. You should rinse with water and brush your teeth later once your mouth has naturally worked on calming the sugar.

  I have also heard this as well MEEDEE.
  There is a lot of hype on this product..only hope it does as it promises and does not give with one hand and take with another.

Thankfully my daughter doesn’t like to indulge in much chocolate and will always brush her teeth after even one chocolate egg.

It’s very important to protect their teeth.
