Re: Toddlers severe eczema around mouth
Hello Again,
First, I want to suggest an alternative toothpaste for your consideration. Burt's Bees has 100% natural toothpaste for children (no flouride) that is recommended for ages 2 and up. My nieces use this brand of toothpaste. You can purchase this item at your local Whole Foods Market.
Secondly, I want to refer you to an article that was recommended to me by my sister regarding the five hidden dangers in toothpaste. You can check out this full article at oramd.com (specifically, oramd.com/toothpaste_report.pdf). "Suprisingly, flouride has NEVER been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Additionally, a 1990 study stated that flouride has been shown to NOT reduce cavities and scientists are now linking flouride to dental deformity, arthritis, allergic reactions and about 10,000 unnecessary deaths each year from cancer." (Maurer/J. National Cancer Institute)
I highly recommend that you take a look at the oramd website. The site may also be of great benefit in treating your sons dental deformity by providing more insight, information and product options; or by directing you to responsible and knowledgeable dentists that provide natural, alternative solutions for treatment.
