Tooth Tissues--New Product I Love
November 10, 2008 at 5:42 PM by Cafe Cynthia - Comments (5)
I wish I knew about Tooth Tissues when my kids were babies and just cutting their teeth -- or, rather, cutting my fingers when I'd try to clean them. If your toddler fights you tooth and nail (how many teeth puns can I sneak in here?) when you pull out the brush and floss, you may want to try these new dental wipes. They actually work great on teeth of all ages -- I've used them not only on my toddler and kindergartner, but as a quick freshen-upper on my own teeth.
They look and feel like antiseptic wipes, but with more texture to help scrub off plaque. The tasteless wipes contain xylitol, the natural cavity fighter, and are flouride and paraben free.
They're a little pricey -- $7 for a month's supply. Then again, our children's teeth don't come cheap either. Just ask the Tooth Fairy ...
Is this a good idea or more useless gear?

seems a little silly but maybe that's because I still just use water on my daughter's toothbrush. Also, I don't buy disposable products so I'm a little biased.
Sounds like toothpaste on a wash cloth... cheaper to buy a tube and save the space in the landfill for other things.
I don't have problems with brushing my daughter's teeth. She is 14 months and she loves it when I get out her little tiny tooth brush. I think the wipes might be a good idea for mom's who have kids that don't like tooth brushing time.
I think these sound like a great idea -- my kids are all over the place with teeth brushing. One day it's fine and they do it without argument, the next day it's a battle. I'd be happy to have these as an option to the brush!

I wish these had been around when my kids were smaller.
