My First Colgate Toothpaste

This seemed a logical follow up review from my recent foray into the world of teething - your child has got their first tooth - how are you going to look after it? Having made a bit of a mess of looking after my own teeth, I was determined to look after my son's teeth right from the start.

They wouldn't want to brush their teeth again. This one is a pleasent flavour and really cleans their teeth well. It is also a very well known make of toothpaste which goes back many years. So should be well ...
