Brushing baby teeth?!

Brushing baby teeth?

is it necessary that we use flouride in the toothpaste? we typically have our family on organic products and i can't seem to find any organic toothpaste for a 1 year old that contains flouride. (the adults and older children do not use organic toothpasts, as i feel that the need for good clean strong teeth outweighs the benefits of organic toothpaste) or does anyone know of an organic baby toothpaste with flouride?

wow! cancer really? never heard of that considering that billions of people worldwide brush their teeth with flouride based toothpaste twice a day. what would you reccommend instead?

First of all, anyone who says that fluoride causes cancer is a complete and total knucklehead.

Second, a 1 year old should not be using fluoride toothpaste. You can either use any non-fluoridated toothpaste or just water. If you have fluoride in the water, that'll be enough for a 1 year old. If your water is not fluoridated, ask your pediatrician about supplements.
