How strange,, I never realized so many kids didnt know how to spit. I agree with "B"..They know how to spit out food they don't like, they shouldn't have too much trouble with toothpaste. But also, you see tv comercials for toothpaste showing this long line of paste on the brush, swirled up pretty on the ends. It's a lot of paste! If you read the tube for the recommended ammount to use, some say a small dot, the size of a pea. So, don't use too much and maybe you won't be so worried about them swallowing it.
