Fluoride = poison!!: For most, there isn't a problem using a toothpaste with fluoride. You brush with it and rinse it out. But when children swallow it, if can be a highly toxic poison. Have you noticed the warnings on the labels? At one time tooth paste looked like soft served ice cream dispensed on a toothbrush. Now the recommendation for children are "pea size". Soon it be just a tiny, thin "smear!" use caution!
