Toothpaste and dentist visit

[Guest guest]

I always check all products used by my kids dentist to make sure

they are GF. I get a list ahead of time and call the manufacturers.

In the past, I have had various products that were a problem, including fluoride

treatments and the revealer pills. Once this is done the first time, I

only need to check on new products. Occasionally I check the whole list

again just in case something has changed. Also, request that they use

powder-free gloves (most gloves are coated with cornstarch, but sometimes they use

oat powder).

Thanks, Pam. Some good info to ask our dentist about, particularly the fluoride treatments and the coating of gloves with oat powder.

At home, consider using Tom's toothpastes, which are gluten-free. My wife, who has severe CS, will not use most other toothpastes because, as is illustrated by the Colgate-Palmolive disclaimer in the front of the CSA Gluten-Free Products binder, most companies will not guarantee that the ingredients in their products have not been exposed to gluten even though the ingredients themselves may not contain gluten.

Hi

My 3 year old celiac daughter just had her first dentist visit. She was a little scared so they only counted her teeth.

Next visit will be more of a cleaning. Are there any gluten concerns with toothpaste, polish, floride?

Has any one every heard of anything or had any problems?

Thx
