When I posted my Weleda Children’s Tooth Gel Review last year, someone mentioned the Jason Kids Only toothpaste. We’ve been using the Jason Kids Only Shampoo/Conditioner and have been happy with it, so I figured the toothpaste was worth a try. I was able to find it at Toys R Us and the 4.2 oz tube retails for under $6.
I’ve been meaning to write about this for literally 6 months, but with a lot of this stuff, I feel like there’s really not much to say unless it’s terrible, or somehow super amazing!
It does not contain: fluoride, sulfate, wheat, gluten, saccharin or artificial colors/flavors. The ingredients are: glycerin, water, silica, xylitol, xanthan gum, panthenol, aloe vera leaf juice, calendula flower extract, calcium carbonate, sodium lauroyl sarcosinate, and flavor.
I tasted a little bit of it and it has that typical strawberry-for-kids flavor. It’s easy to squeeze out, but doesn’t come out too fast. We’ve bought this twice, and I will probably continue to buy it as long as we need fluoride-free toothpaste.
I also picked up a MAM toothbrush that’s BPA, Phthlate, lead and PVC free. It is shaped nicely to make it easy for little hands to use and hold, and I really haven’t found many other options for toothbrushes for little ones without all the icky stuff. The only thing that annoys me is that because of the way they are shaped, they won’t stay sitting on the counter bristles up. If you put some toothpaste on it and try to set it down, it rolls on it’s side and you end up with toothpaste all over the counter!

[…] are my own. I’m always on the lookout for new fluoride-free toothpaste. We’ve used Jason Kids Only, Weleda tooth gel, and most often, Tom’s of Maine silly strawberry. I generally order the […]
Hmm…never seen this kind before. I’m going to have to check it out!
My little one loves chewing on tooth brushes, he has all his teeth so it’s hard to say teething but it really is like that. Thanks for the information, I have no idea what to use on him, he is 19 months old
Nice to know! Some of the fluoride-free toothpastes available for kids are basically just “gel”, but I like that this one has xylitol to help fight the cavity-causing germs. We are currently using a Squigle brand xylitol toothpaste but I had to order it from Amazon, I couldn’t find it locally.
I’m kind of torn on whether I think the brushing alone is enough to prevent cavities. My son makes it sooo difficult to brush thoroughly, that I’m glad for the extra help from the xylitol, if that makes sense?
