Toothpaste swallowing

2023-12-21 10:40:59
Hello Doctor, My son is 1 year and 10 months old. From 1 week I started brushing his teeth with luvlap toothpaste. He's not spitting after brushing. He's swallowing. Is it to concern? On the toothpaste cover they wrote as "safe if accidentally swallowed". But my child is swallowing it daily 2 times a day. I'm just using a little bit of toothpaste for brushing his teeth. Please suggest. Thank you.

Donot worry No problem even though he swallows but Children do that usually ,you have to train them properly to not to swallow so that they will learn how to spit it out
