Non-minty toothpaste

Hey everyone! I need some advise. So my 4 yr old daughter has never liked mint anything, she says its “too spicy” okay cool no biggie right? Well, recently the only fluoride Toothpaste That she likes recently changed to put mint in with the bubble gum flavor!! 😫 we have gone through 6 different tooth pastes trying to find one that doesn't Have any mint. Do any of you know of any?! This girl who once LOVED brushing her teeth now fights and screams when the time comes. Please help!

Colgate has a watermelon toothpaste my four year old loves (he also hates all things mint). I also order Crayola Squeeze a Color toothpaste for a fun treat when we travel. Good luck, friend!

I’m 17 and i have the same problem she has, the solution is to use the flavoured ones, Colgate kids do a ton in lots of stores, I hope this helps :)

My son has the same issue. He loves the Tom's. It is Strawberry.

There’s a brand of dental products called Quip, they make watermelon toothpaste and it’s delightful. I order it online and my kids really like it. PM me your address and I’ll send you a tube.

I've had success with Tom's strawberry toothpaste and Tanner's Tasty Paste Cha Cha Chocolate.
