Q: What does an ingredient “flavor” means? What ingredients contain the flavor?

Q: Is this safe to swallow?
submitted by sarahvanl8 - 2 years ago
A: Hi Sarah, this is Lisa one of the dentists and co-founders. Thank you so much for reaching out with your question. We created our products for kids to be totally safe for children to use. As dentists, we understand that children don't really learn to spit effectively until they are around the age of 8 so it's normal for them to swallow a little of the paste while brushing and this is totally safe. What I used to recommend to my patients is to encourage your child to spit when they are brushing but set your expectations- it may take a while for them to learn how to do this properly. It's totally ok if they swallow some of the remaining toothpaste while brushing. I hope this helps and if you have any further questions, I'm so happy to answer. Just shoot me and email on lisa@madebydentists.com

Amazing toothpaste for kids with allergies! My son is allergic to gluten, dairy and reacts to a bunch of things. He hates mint. We literally tried over 15 toothpastes to find something that worked. So thankful for this company.

DEM - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
My 5 year old tasted this and hated it. She can be picky so I tried it myself, it’s pretty gross, even for toothpaste. The consistency is strange as well, like a dry, thick gel. It’s on the expensive side for toothpaste so I definitely expected better

Hi DEM, sorry to hear that your family didn’t like our Watermelon flavor toothpaste. Vanessa and I wanted to create a range of products that all kids love but I totally get that taste is very individual and sorry that you didn’t enjoy this flavor. Thank you for taking the time to leave this review - I really do value your feedback on your experience. - All the Best, Lisa Creaven, Co-Founder Made By Dentists

OKli - 6 months ago, Verified purchaser
Love the smell of the watermelon one! But don’t really know if I love the toothpaste, it’s an interesting consistency compared to other toothpaste’s, when it dries on the cap it’s very thick and sticky and hard to wipe off. Seems to do what it’s meant to do and the smell is so good but don’t know if I’d buy again.

Such a cute design and quality ingredients. The flavor smells so good. No more fights from my toddler when brushing her teeth. This is more of a “treat” to her. We avoid dyes, so it was refreshing to find a paste that adds flourish, tastes good, but avoids food dye! Bravo!!

This is the only toothpaste my kid uses and has used for over a year now and loves it. Not only does it have great flavor but it lacks SLS, sodium lauryl sulfate that is unnecessary and unhealthy especially in our kid's oral products. We use this toothpaste with the shark toothbrush and it hasn't disappointed. Highly recommend!
Confession: I'm an adult and I love this .
