Xylitol ho!

[ailbhe]

On our way back from BfN / library today (15 Rosemary Sutcliffs FTW) I popped into a chemist to ask for xylitol again, and was told the didn't have any, and explained its uses to the pharmacist and got sidetracked into a conversation about his brother who used to live in Stavanger, Norway, and wished he'd had a family because families were so well-treated there. Er. I think that was because Linnea was wearing my honeymoon hat, which I bought one morning in Flåm for a fiver because I'd left my own one in Reading.

Anyway, as we were leaving I went to tidy the things the girls had looked at while I was talking, and one thing was a box of Dentinox toothpaste, which I had seen the_changeling mention but since the Dentinox website doesn't mention it at all, I couldn't work out where to buy it. So I bought that. And told the staff that it contained xylitol and if they'd only known that when I first asked two months ago or more, we'd have all been much happier, hah.

So now we have xylitol toothpaste, which we can use after the fluoride one, just smear it on her teeth last thing, without washing the fluoride one away. Yay. I may experiment with putting both kinds on her brush at once, too.

I really do want to ask the dentist. I hope there's some improvement the dentist can see.
