Toothpaste for my 3.5 yr old. With or Without Fluoride?

KatieCC08

I'm not sure what kind of toothpaste to buy my daughter. We're in the slow process of making the switch to all SLS free, paraben free (etc) skincare products. Its slow going because I'm researching far too much!

We do not have fluoride in our water, so I'm tempted to buy toothpaste with fluoride. I'm not sure what I should do?! Any tips? Does she need fluoride? I dont her teeth to rot, but I also don't want her to consumer chemicals!

We have fluoride in our drinking water and use non fluoride toothpaste.  My friend's town doesn't have fluoride in their drinking water and their doctor recommended using fluoride drops daily.  Ask you doctor about fluoride in drinking water.  We use Tom's of Maine silly strawberry fluoride free toothpaste. 
You can also check out ewg.org about the paraben free skincare products.  Bare Minerals is a good brand in general.  But you can check each product on that web site.  Should help your searching.

I did a lot of research and read lots of horrible things about fluoride, so we don't use it. Our whole family uses Earthpaste.

These seem a little weird at first but this is what we have been using for a while and love them. https://www.amazon.com/Miswak-Stick-Al-Falah-Hygienically-Processed/dp/B001G47L24

Without, please really research about fluoride. We avoid it at all cost. We use Earth Paste for the family.

Thank you!! 

I did do a little more digging and was not too happy when I read more about fluoride. Fluoride free for my family!

Fluoride-free here, too. There are lots of brands on the market, just depends on what's available to you. I use Tom's or Nature's Gate. My favorite brand was Himalayen Biologique, but it's a bit more expensive.
