WARNING!

Just for your information.......this week we were warned by our Speech and Language therapist NOT to use the pink mouthcare sponges as there have been cases of the sponges becoming detached and causing choking! Instead, she suggested we use a soft child's or baby's toothbrush dipped in mouthwash.

Love Kathy

Hi Kathy

Not at that stage yet, but will certainly bear it in mind. Thanks for the warning.

Love SuzieQ

Goodness, there's always something! We used both the pink spongey things and child sized toothbrushes, but certainly hadn't ever been warned about anything like that. Thanks for the info.

That is such helpful information.

Thank you
