stinky toddler breath

Addie's breath is a little stinky lately, not awful, just stale. I'm not sure what to do about it. Her allergies are bothering her so I think it's because of the mouth breathing, (I hope). any suggestions?

Maybe just offer her some water throughout the day and brush her teeth in the morning and at night?  Sometimes Sarah's breath isn't that great and I try to do a little brushing if she'll let me, which isn't often!

we brush 2x a day! but that toddler toothpaste really doesn't freshen much.

Could you move her to the children's toothpaste?  I've started buying it for Sarah in the bubblegum flavor.  It's got flouride and seems to freshen more.

I agree, switching to the other toothpaste does help some.  You just have to use a small amount since they will still tend to swallow it.  M hates the bubble gum one, but there's one that's fruity like her toddler toothpaste. 

I also got her to start letting me brush her tongue...

Good luck!  I miss the days of baby angel breath!
