toothpaste

[shortstuffnstff]

Anyone else have problems with brushing teeth because toothpaste makes you sick? I have tried using regular toothpaste,  children's toothpaste and training toothpaste none of it works I always end up vomitting.  I have finally gotten to where mostly I either put some mothwas on toothbrush and brush with that or i just use water then gargle with mouthwash.  Just wondering if anyone else has this problem and if so what you do? Thanks!

I was just telling my family how I HATE brushing my teeth (just while pregnant) the after tast of mint Arrrr. I was told theres a no ment no taste Toothpaste ummm no there's not! I tried looking for it NEVER FOUND IT :(

Exactly! I hate it because I have always been a brush my teeth 3 to 4  times a day and now i dread it because of it making me sick.i will have to try the sea salt idea. Keeping my head straight doesnt help me much either, i still throw up lol. Really hoping it goes away soon

I thought I was going crazy as soon as I begin brushing my tongue I start gagging. It makes me sick to my stomach I feel like my breath stinks.

My problem is the taste of mint  in my mouth when I'm finished. I think I might buy a children's bubblegum flavor or something and try that

I had this problem until i waa about 20 weeks but then it just went away :)
Also try keeping ur head straight when spitting out the water because it will stop u from gagging

Oh wow I am the complete opposite. I have to brush and gargle after everyrhing I do or I will began to feel sick. I hope it gets better for you.

I was just tell my husband tonight that I dread brushing my teeth because it makes me throw up. I can't even chew a piece of mint flavored gum without getting sick! I will try the sea salt idea, I have never heard of that before.

Brush with sea salt i heard its really good for ur teeth! Just something to replace toothpaste. ..

I've tried that too byt i still ended  up throwing up :-(

[MommyKaay]

I know exactly the way you feel! I was like that in my first trimester & beginning of second trimester but it seemed to calm down a lot. I guess the way I would try not to throw up is brushing my tongue slow without gagging because gagging would lead to puking.

I hate it too lol
