Dentist?

My 4yr old has appt this am, I called and asked about gluten. She said she did not see anything in the ingredients. Could there be hidden gluten? WWYD?

I've asked in other threads for dental products (by brand) that definitely have gluten and have never gotten an answer. Most of the warnings I've seen are about the potential for gluten or for products that won't give a defnitive gluten-free statement (usually citing not being able to guarantee their suppliers don't contaminate).

My experience has been that when I ask about gluten the dentists always say "not a problem" but that doesn't equal "I checked the ingredients", it could mean "I never thought about gluten in dental products".

I would like to have a brand because that is an entry point beyond a generic denial: "Do you use brand X"?

I would ask your dentist what brand he/she uses and call the company yourself. Then you can make the call on the safety. I've always asked my dentist for the plain pumice with no flavour, but I don't know the brand.

And if anyone has gotten a "definitely has gluten" answer, please post that product/brand.
