Ds1 has aspergers and finds the minty toothpastes too strong for him.He is 7 so have just bought the Big Teeth toothpaste by mcleans but he wont use it.Is there a mild minty grown up one he could get? We live out in the sticks and the local shops dont have much of a selection!!

go to a health shop and get the fennel flavoured one by king fisher.. ds(nt) hates mint but will use this one. it is about £2.50 a tube but the tube is very big and lasts ages (think you can get it on line.)

Wow thanks 2shoes, I'll do that too!! DS behaves like he's been poisioned every time I brush his teeth with the most microscopic bit of child's toothpaste!

(He probably should be having adult toothpaste anyway as he's got adult teeth now.. well those that he has left! <sigh> Front two are gone )

Message
Emphasis: To bold a word, surround it with asterisks, so *hello* will display hello. For underline use _ , so _hello_ gives hello. For italics use ^, so ^hello^ gives hello. To strike out a word, surround it with two hyphens either side, so --dog-- gives dog

Links and smileys: To insert a smiley face,  , type [smile] or :)
For a big grin,  , type [grin] or :o
For a wink,  , type [wink]
For a shocked face,  , type [shock]
For an angry face,  , type [angry]
For an embarrassed face,  , type [blush]
For a sad face,  , type [sad] or :(
For an envious face,  , type [envy]
For a sceptical face,  , type [hmm]

Links The simplest way to insert a link is to enter the link itself, surrounded by [[ and ]]. So if you type [[www.mumsnet.com]], the link will display as http://www.mumsnet.com. If you want your link to display text other than the web address itself, leave a space after the address then add the text before the ]]. So "Look at [[www.mumsnet.com this page]]", would display "Look at this page".
