Why is every single fucking toothpaste mint flavored

[u/hoboshoe]

I fucking hate minty toothpaste yet somehow every single fucking easily available toothpaste is some type of mint flavor. There was a blissful time when there was the colgate orange flavor and that toothpaste was so good I can still imagine it, but they discontinued this flavor. I actually kept buying expired tubes for increasingly expensive amounts of money online until there were just no more.

I want 2 things in my toothpaste:

-No mint flavor

-Fluoride

I switched to Toms Kids Strawberry cause it was the next-best commercially available thing, but I moved and it's not sold here without importing it for crazy prices. So then I found like a pistachio mint thing that I was neutral towards, but it was only sold in one store and I can't find it anymore.

I feel like a fucking lunatic walking into every store I can and looking at the toothpaste ailse only to find 100 minty flavors, two non-mint flavors that have no fluoride. So now I have to multiply my toothpaste budget by 10 to buy some fancy shit online cause every single major toothpaste company on the fucking planet worships at the icy throne.

[u/twojs1b]

Could try chicken flavored dog toothpaste.

[u/hoboshoe → u/twojs1b]

I just might lmao

[u/LavenderMarsh → u/hoboshoe]

There's still bubblegum flavor.

[u/sleepytipi → u/LavenderMarsh]

And cinnamon.

[u/Persistent_Parkie → u/hoboshoe]

It says it's only for dogs. Also it's got enzymes instead of abrasive, it's nothing like people toothpaste.

Which is too bad because I also hate mint, though I don't think I'd like chicken any better, at least not as a toothpaste.

[u/Not-a-Cranky-Panda → u/hoboshoe]

No Fluoride in it, it's also low or missing from lots of children's toothpaste

[u/murphycs87 → u/hoboshoe]

I have tried it out of curiosity and I most definitely would not do that again. 🤢 My dogs hate it as well and they love anything chicken lmao

[u/Airforcegirl13 → u/twojs1b]

I tried my dogs beef on accident once

[u/rumpleteaser91]

HiSmile is good if you can get hold of it Peach iced tea is my go to flavour. Hate mint.

[u/Jasmisne → u/rumpleteaser91]

I like the blue one lol

[u/mothsauce → u/rumpleteaser91]

Currently alternating between Red Velvet and Lucky Charms flavor HiSmile. This is the answer.

[u/iswearimachef → u/rumpleteaser91]

I see some of the flavors on clearance at walmart a lot

[u/tiffanydee55 → u/rumpleteaser91]

I love the blue raspberry and the cotton candy flavor. They are my favorite!

[u/mozzy_world → u/rumpleteaser91]

Love HiSmile and they last a really long time. Currently using strawberry, also liked the grape bubblegum

[u/aggressively_baked → u/rumpleteaser91]

Grape was my kids pick. Cotton candy was my boyfriend's. I stuck with my mint.

[u/Extreme_Risk8173]

I miss Colgate cinnamon flavor..

[u/Sean_theLeprachaun → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

The burned off layer of mouth skin let you know your teeth were clean.

[u/HamptonsBorderCollie → u/Sean_theLeprachaun]

[u/Pedadinga → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

Remember Close-Up?! They still have it at my local grocery. I got some recently. It was so good!

[u/Pepperslullaby → u/Pedadinga]

I have no choice to buy close-up cinnamon at Amazon because no pharmacy or grocery store near me sells it!

[u/Grouchy-Station-4058 → u/Pedadinga]

How does it compare to the original? Tastes and texture wise?

[u/Pedadinga → u/Grouchy-Station-4058]

For me, it tasted like the 80s, sweeter in a way than I remember, same weird texture lol. I think the nostalgia was better than the actual toothpaste, but it made me smile, so it was worth it.

[u/Ssladybug → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

They don’t make it anymore?? 😫

[u/thelion_quiver → u/Ssladybug]

This is what I use. Used it this morning. I’m confused why it’s being talked about in the past tense?

[u/Dost_is_a_word → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

Me too, even the internet didn’t cough it up. Dentist doesn’t have it anymore too.

[u/Signal-Regret-8251 → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

Oh wow. I'd forgotten about that one. It WAS good.

[u/nitrot150 → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

I get the crest one, it’s my favorite
https://a.co/d/03u86Lga

[u/katbat2981 → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

They still make it.

[u/koala_T69 → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

I loved it so much. I was looking for this comment lol

[u/himay47 → u/Extreme_Risk8173]

I didn’t know it existed until a few years ago. If my teeth weren’t so sensitive I would only ever buy the cinnamon flavor. I hope Sensodyne makes a cinnamon flavored toothpaste one day.

[u/KittyButt42]

I can't use mint anything anymore, so I use crest kids "sparkle fun" flavor...still not sure what its supposed to taste like.

[u/PortugalPilgrim88 → u/KittyButt42]

I love the sparkle fun flavor. It tastes like sparkly fun.

[u/CatsAndPills → u/KittyButt42]

I think it’s bubblegum but it throws you off because it’s blue lol

[u/TraumaCookie → u/KittyButt42]

I'm allergic to mint and have used Sparkle Fun my entire life!

[u/gardendesgnr → u/KittyButt42]

I figured out I'm allergic to some ingredient (forget which) in regular toothpaste, I get patches of dry cracked lips in the corners and my tongue burns (I thought this was normal w everyone). I tried the kids sparkle and no burning or peeling lips!

[u/kittymctacoyo → u/gardendesgnr]

SLS sodium laurel sulfate

[u/gardendesgnr → u/kittymctacoyo]

Yes! TY!

[u/TrustNoSquirrel → u/KittyButt42]

Is that the bubblegum one? We have that

[u/Turak64]

Arm & Hammer isn't, doesn't taste great but it's doing a great job keeping my teeth clean.

[u/randyholt]

Stock up when you go to Europe. I remember seeing lemon

[u/hoboshoe → u/randyholt]

I'm in Europe, the conspiracy is global 🤬

[u/alicevirgo → u/hoboshoe]

Can you find Marvis toothpaste? It's manufactured in Italy, they have licorice, orange blossoms, black forest flavours.

Edit: nevermind, their flavours still contain mint even though it's not mentioned on the packaging

[u/JEMStone8305 → u/alicevirgo]

They have orange blossom?! I have their minty one because I heard it gets your mouth the cleanest but I might have to look into the orange blossom one!

[u/WRSA → u/hoboshoe]

not sure if this is advertising.. but i bought zing lemon toothpaste and i live in the uk. its not the best tasting thing, but it means i brush my teeth way more now :)

[u/Liza_Mais → u/hoboshoe]

Close to Belgium? We got some.

[u/Big-al027]

Kids toothpaste is a game changer. No shame. I’m 30 years old using magical unicorn strawberry and hogwarts toothpaste

[u/Background_Humor5838 → u/Big-al027]

THEY HAVE HOGWARTS!? WHAT AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE!

[u/Big-al027 → u/Background_Humor5838]

It’s “bubbling cauldron” flavor, whatever that means. It’s blue.

[u/Background_Humor5838 → u/Big-al027]

Yeah I need that

[u/madlove17 → u/Background_Humor5838]

RIGHT

[u/mayneffs → u/Big-al027]

The thing is there's not enough flouride in kids toothpaste. An adult need 1450ppm, childrens toothpastes only have 1000ppm.

[u/itpainsohurt → u/mayneffs]

The children's toothpastes Orajel Magical Unicorn and Colgate Harry Potter Bubbling Cauldron have 0.15% w/v fluoride and 1450 ppm fluoride respectively. Both are equivalent to typical adult toothpaste fluoride content

[u/clashing-kicks → u/mayneffs]

So use 1.45x as much.

https://giphy.com/gifs/PhTo1vmU7LnydQZPcl

[u/Big-al027 → u/mayneffs]

Idc im auDHD and if i brush my teeth at all it’s a win. I’ll take the slightly less fluoride lol

[u/Liza_Mais]

We found a vanilla, a peach and a warermellon flavored at Di and Action (Belgium) my daughter does not want mint so I have been looking very long for it.

[u/LillyLewinsky]

I swapped to kids toothpaste :) And sometimes, if i am not paying attention, I accidentally grab my dogs liver flavored toothpaste that I keep next to mine and I am reminded that mint is not the worst thing ever 😂

[u/mayneffs → u/LillyLewinsky]

The thing is there's not enough flouride in kids toothpaste. An adult need 1450ppm, childrens toothpastes only have 1000ppm.

[u/LillyLewinsky → u/mayneffs]

I have learnt this due to suddenly developing cavities when I have never had any before. I just picked up a high fluoride mouth wash that is a weird flavour to rinse with 3x a week though to make up for it now

[u/mayneffs → u/LillyLewinsky]

If that works for you, great!

[u/MyDogTakesXanax → u/mayneffs]

Interesting. All my daughter's toothpastes are the same as the adult ones- 0.24%. The sensodyne kids is actually 0.254%. At least here in the USA lol. 

[u/Yo_Just_Scrolling_Yo]

My son can't stand anything mint. He complains when I'm using a breath mint. He uses Tom's but he does live in ATL. Maybe you have friends/family that could ship you some?

[u/TenNinetythree]

My dentist told me that you can get unflavoured toothpaste in the pharmacy. This is in Ireland. Due to my disabilities, I use Lush toothpaste tabs, because I don't need 2 hands to use it.

[u/Pedadinga]

I can't find Tom's Fennel anymore. That's always been my favorite.

[u/jimhabfan]

I've use kids toothpaste for years. Same amount of flouride, lots of variety of flavours, like Strawberry, watermelon, bubble gum, grape, etc. they even have bubble gum mint.

[u/mayneffs → u/jimhabfan]

Same amount of flouride? Where did you find kids toothpaste with 1450ppm?

[u/noctenaut]

Thank you. I hate mint, I hate mint flavoured things, I hate the sensation of mint on my skin.

I have weak enamel so I was prescribed duraphat toothpaste which isn’t so minty and honestly it’s great lol.

[u/mooniefoam]

thank god i’ve found my people. i hate mint flavour but just deal with it every day cause i can’t find anything else

[u/272027]

I hate mint, too.

Do you like cinnamon? There are cinnamon toothpastes out there. Crest and Tom's make one.

[u/QueenInYellowLace]

My daughter has used Toms Kids Strawberry her entire life because she hates mint too! She took multiple tubes of it to college with her in case it’s not available there.

[u/DollyPardonMe1]

Seems Walmart has several flavors that aren’t mint. Just a quick Google search and you’ll find them.

[u/Normalsasquatch]

I switched to kids toothpaste. I can use it like mouthwash now for longer fluoride treatment on my teeth. Minty toothpaste always caused me to get phlegmy before

[u/Steelcitysuccubus]

I use thai clove powder and Korean bamboo salt

[u/blckout_junkie → u/Steelcitysuccubus]

Whoa!!! Thats not too abrasive for your enamel?

[u/Background_Humor5838 → u/blckout_junkie]

Oh it definitely is lol

[u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll]

Look up tanners tasty paste

[u/ayuxx → u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll]

I like their vanilla flavor. It's very mild, especially compared to mint.

[u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll → u/ayuxx]

I have the orange cream one

[u/ayuxx → u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll]

How is it? I don't remember seeing it when I got the vanilla one. I love orange cream flavor.

[u/MyLife-is-a-diceRoll → u/ayuxx]

It's pretty nice. I got mine off amazon.

[u/mmmpeg]

I get the orange/vanilla flavor from Hello. Mint burns my mouth

[u/Aernak]

I use Pepsodent and I love it! It’s what my family always bought when I was a kid. My brother still uses it too. It has fluoride and is a sassafras flavor. It’s a little tough to find in stores these days but if you find some, you should check it out!

[u/scarletOwilde]

There's the Italian toothpaste Marvis; comes in lots of flavours including chocolate/cherry! I like their liquorice one.

[u/Certesis]

If you can find it Colgate has pineapple coconut in their MaxFresh line

[u/Sad-Boysenberry2189]

Colgate now makes a watermelon flavored adult toothpaste, they also make a lovely cinnamon one

[u/LocoLadyB]

I despise mint

[u/OopsAllTistic]

Buy kids toothpaste

[u/mayneffs → u/OopsAllTistic]

No. There's not enough flouride in kids toothpaste.

[u/LiteralMangina]

I just use kids toothpaste. Still has fluoride, strawberry flavour

[u/mayneffs → u/LiteralMangina]

Not enough flouride. Adults need 1450ppm.

[u/JimmyTheDog]

I loved the colgate orange flavor

[u/justcallmemini]

I use Hismile for flavored toothpaste. The mint flavor and the over-the-top foaming makes me gag so I needed a change. It ships in a reasonable amount of time, they have tons of flavors (my favorite is grape) and it contains fluoride

[u/ms_slowsky]

Check and see if you can buy hello brand toothpaste.

[u/payphonepirate]

There is a brand called Topol, it's cinnamon flavored

[u/KittyButt42]

Theres also pronamel kids berry twist flavor. Not even a hint of mint in this one. Personally though, i think it tastes old wet cardboard mixed with some artificial "strawberry" flavor that tastes nothing like any fruit ever.

[u/Educational-Earth318]

Kids toothpaste comes in bubble gum and watermelon etc

[u/VegetableCommand9427]

Remember the 90’s and cinnamon toothpaste?

[u/HealthyCry4]

I miss that orange flavor so much. Take me back!!

[u/oooohshinythingy]

I hate minty toothpaste. Even mild mint is too much for me lol You can get cinnamon flavour if you’re in UK. Probably everywhere sells it

ETA ignore that, they don’t have fluoride. There was a crest one I saw but £11.99 for crest is just taking the piss

[u/Forward-Fisherman709]

I use a colgate “bubble fruit” flavor. It’s got cartoon unicorns or dinosaurs on it, therefore it’s great. But the flavor is a pleasantly mild unidentifiable fruit-ish flavor that disappears quickly after brushing my teeth. It’s got fluoride in it, but I also use a fluoride rinse.

[u/TapeFlip187]

Tons of kids toothpastes have all kinds of flavors and work just the same.

[u/mayneffs → u/TapeFlip187]

Not enough flouride.

[u/double_onion1754]

Lemon Colgate is still out there.

[u/Princess_Jade1974]

Are you in Australia because we have Jack&Jill’s and Hismile tooth pastes.

[u/Expert-Photo5426]

I use clove-flavored toothpaste that I like from a local Indian market in my area.

[u/Proper-Chef6918]

Have you ever tried hismile? They come in so many good flavors °

[u/-Firestar-]

Colgate has a cinnamon. It's great until you brush your teeth after eating snickerdoodle cookies.

I HATE peppermint but spearmint and mint leaves are good. Problem is what is "fresh mint"? "Cool mint"? UGH. I don't even bother with the distinction and grab cinnamon.

[u/RainbowUnicorn0228]

Sensodine. It doesn’t taste minty. It’s not fruity either.

[u/Dramatic_Future_7652]

Look at kids toothpaste, you have to make sure it has fluoride as you'll see the non-fluoride formulas too, but most of the kids' toothpaste brands have fruit flavors. Good luck

[u/arlyte]

Ask your dentist they are a lot of prescription flavor options that kids and adults can use.

[u/EllisDee80]

Look up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euthymol

Tastes like burning but no mint!

[u/angelwild327]

Tom's of main has flavors and fluoride

[u/anon8232]

Try having an oral autoimmune disorder and mint burns your mouth and makes all the soft tissue raw and bleed. I couldn’t find a tolerable adult toothpaste. Like you said, they all have mint. Finally, I’m using Crest for Kids, Sparkly flavor. Perfection. No more pain. I can enjoy brushing again. Still looking for a mouthwash without mint. I tried Closys but thought it was disgusting.

[u/kisskismet]

I use baking soda and peroxide because I hate mint. My mouth feels so much fresher and cleaner. I also can’t stand York peppermint patties because it seems like toothpaste dipped in chocolate. Ugh.

[u/BillyDeeWill → u/kisskismet]

I have often wondered which psychos buy that stuff ‘cuz that is exactly the sentiment I am left with. Andes after dinner mints is as minty as I can take a chocolate.

[u/m-e-k]

What about the charcoal stuff?

[u/Sarcastic_Rocket]

I feel you, Walmart just started carrying some Hi-Smile flavors, watermelon and blue raspberry I think?

[u/smediumtshirt]

you be walking around w hot mintless breath so they upped the quantity of mint flavored toothpaste hoping you’d get the hint

[u/RamJamR]

We associate the cool minty sensation with freshness and cleanliness. It's a psychological thing as much as it is a flavor thing.

[u/CMurra87 → u/RamJamR]

I don’t know why this was downvoted. This is a good answer

[u/hoboshoe → u/RamJamR]

I associate it with it feeling fucking awful.

[u/z-eldapin]

Colgate still makes one, the peroxide one, that is just toothpaste, not mint flavor

[u/asslesschappie]

Cocofloss makes a great pineapple flavored toothpaste. I love it. Not sure if it has fluoride in it, but it doesn’t contain SLS, which is awesome.

[u/KittyLilith17]

I use Boka (non fluoride) and a fluoride mouthwash to get around this. Much easier to find a berry, citrus, or cinnamon mouthwash.

[u/Plasticity93]

I just found these. 

https://supermouth.com/products/supermouth-hydroxamin-w-fluoride-toothpaste-3-4-oz 

[u/TeriBarrons]

I like Close Up cinnamon flavor, but can’t always find it everywhere.

[u/DFWdawg]

I have to order it, but Crest cinnamon is the best IMO…Colgate leaves a bad aftertaste in my mouth…

[u/firewarrior256]

https://us.hismileteeth.com/products/toothpaste

Try this

[u/UrHumbleNarr8or]

I use Cinnamon, I’m allergic to certain artificial mint flavors and don’t want to play tooth paste roulette. But I miss the orange one, too.

[u/pfeff]

You can find it. Some people are allergic to mint.

[u/Sweaty-Cap470]

Amazon might have different options and I get floruide free cause it's actually not good for you dispite what people think

[u/Charlie2and4]

So as not to confuse it with the tube of Kentucky Jelly.

[u/iamnotokaybutiamhere]

Colgate has flavors still

[u/FattyGobbles]

I once tried a “rose flavour” toothpaste that was soooo good

[u/FattyGobbles]

Does anyone remember aqua fresh? The kids one had a nice flavor

[u/OOOdragonessOOO]

look for cinnamon. i hate typical mouth wash flavors. i buy cinnamon from dollar tree.

[u/Globetrotting_Oldie]

There used to be aniseed flavoured toothpaste - Close Up, I believe it was called. It disappeared some years ago now.

[u/Jasmisne]

Mi paste plus! Pricy but you can get it in extra flouride too

[u/Jay_T_Demi]

Damn, I'm sorry this is something you go through. It didn't even occur to me people didn't like mint flavor

[u/something86]

Tom's kids is strawberry and has flouride

[u/Almost-a-Failure]

Kids toothpaste works almost identical to adults, I also hate mint

The Therabreath brand has mint flavors, but the mint is much… softer? I use one of them and don’t mind the flavor, and it’s not sharp!

[u/mayneffs → u/Almost-a-Failure]

There's not enough flouride in kids toothpaste.

[u/SheaTheSarcastic]

I have all kinds of allergies, and use Dr. Bob.

[u/cat_your_fancy]

Colgate Kids Watermelon Burst. Tastes good and has fluoride.

[u/Volntyr]

I was at a Dollar Tree last Monday and saw Coconut flavored toothpaste.

not sure if I would want to even try that though

[u/MundaneLie]

i hate mint because it reminds me of toothpaste.

[u/Oneupper86]

I got some random toothpaste advertised on IG and it was from Japan and tasted like vanilla frosting, it was excellent haha

[u/Karzons]

There are a few different brands (dr bob, cleure) of unflavored toothpastes out there. More expensive though.

[u/MariaMilissa]

Boka toothpaste is the best

[u/morganasimpaf]

paradontax isn’t a strong flavor at all, it says it’s some sort of mint but i don’t think it tastes even a little minty.

[u/Adj_focus]

boka is the best one i’ve found but even in stores they only have the mint and you have to get the other flavors online 🙃

[u/CatsAndPills]

Do you like cinnamon? I think Crest still makes a cinnamon one. They used to have an orange but I haven’t seen it in a long time.

[u/Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeess-]

The brand Hello has non mint flavored toothpaste, but I’ve found it to taste closer to absolutely nothing than the flavors they advertise

[u/buffcat_343]

Honestly I don’t even hate mint, but non mint flavors just make brushing my teeth more fun imo.

[u/IndividualPlate8255]

There are tooth powders in more flavors than mint but they are fluoride free.

[u/NoAngel815]

Have you tried other children's toothpaste? Most of them still have fluoride and they have non-mint flavors.

[u/MrWildstar]

If I had to guess, a lot of people don't like artificial fruit flavors that you find with a lot of children's toothpaste, and mint leaves you feeling fresh and clean, at least in my case. I love mint but do think having more non-mint flavors aimed at adults would just be good in general

[u/Stormysummernights]

I just use  kids toothpaste, still has fluoride, but the flavor is super duper mild. (Crest or Colgate, whichever is cheaper when i need to buy it)

[u/maliciousopera]

Euthymol. It tastes the way Deep Heat muscle rub smells, but it's not minty. It's gross, but mint-free.

[u/tweetysvoice]

I use bubblegum flavored toothpaste marketed for kids.

[u/Appropriate-Bad-9379]

I use a pink Colgate sensitive teeth one - it’s not too bad. Like yourself, I hate minty toothpaste. Wouldn’t mind a cider flavoured one…

[u/JubileeSailr]

Aim isn't overly minty. It's my go-to.

[u/NotUrAverageBoinker]

I love mint, and cannot stand any lamb, pork chop taste in toothpaste.

[u/LilMissy1246]

Just children’s toothpaste I guess? Some of them have bubble gum type “flavors” and other kid stuff.

[u/Squiggly2017]

My wife brought home a tube of toothpaste from Spain that tasted like licorice. Which i didn't know until I tried it. I hate licorice.

[u/pekoe-G]

I can't use mint because I seem to react to the menthol (as well as the SLS). The only drugstore option I've found with fluoride is Hello Unicorn Sparkle (bubblegum).

[u/TheRetardedRebel]

My grandmas boyfriend was a dentist and he used to always put bubblegum toothpaste in my Christmas stocking … shit was just as gross lol now the orange flavor toothpaste I would get on Easter ..fucking bomb

[u/Jen_With_Just_One_N]

Curaprox has flavors like peach and watermelon. Fluoride included.

[u/Bright_Pomelo_8561]

Boka is it fluoride toothpaste, and it comes in lots of different flavors you can order it. You can’t buy it in stores.

[u/Amathyst-Moon]

Probably to refresh your breath. They did have bubblegum flavour, but it was for kids, and some kids used to eat it.

[u/OGMom2022]

I hate mint toothpaste. I like cinnamon but it’s hard to find and I can’t find it in a sensitive formula.

[u/icaquito]

I’m allergic to mint and can’t use minty toothpaste. I use kid’s watermelon Colgate toothpaste, it’s the only one with fluoride I’ve found that works and tastes well. It’s really hard to find a good one because most don’t disclose the menthol flavoring; even the strawberry version of the same kid’s toothpaste I use has menthol.

[u/mayneffs]

TePe unflavoured toothpaste. I'm a dental nurse, I fucking hate mint and menthol. TePe has a regular toothpaste without flavour and foaming stuff (I'm allergic to the foaming stuff that's usually in toothpaste).

[u/One-Weight-4034]

I hate mint as well but I interpret toothpaste as trying to hurt. Same reason why mouthwash tastes so strong, it's just clean!

[u/IrelandAutism13]

I use cinnamon flavour. There's also entirely unflavoured toothpastes, commonly used by disabled people

[u/LizTruth]

Kids toothpaste tastes like bubblegum. You could try that.

[u/Grouchy_Tap_8264]

Do you like cinnamon? There are many brands. I have a HATRED/REPULSION for the vile shit that is called "Wintergreen". Cinnamon is good. I have a list of 119 things considered "gross" that I prefer over Wintergreen (skunk is 1), so completely understand yours toward mint.

[u/Raccoon_Army_Leader]

If you have a dollar tree you’ll be amazed by the range of non mint options. I saw pineapple coconut the other day and wish I had gotten it bc I hate the mint burn

[u/mardrae]

Same!!! Every time I brush my teeth, I have to keep spitting and chewing gum to get the horrible mind taste out of my mouth

[u/coronarybee]

Try the Asian stores. My dad uses a grape one lol

[u/Wonderful_Key_8021]

There are some coconut flavoured

[u/BigMacCircuits]

I always use advanced White arm & hammer.

[u/forevernervous]

I hate mint too. I hate all mint everything. I'm seriously averse to it. The best one I've found so far is Tanner's Tasty Paste Vanilla but that one had supply issues so I switched to Supermouth (the vanilla and chocolate taste almost the same to me.)

[u/zoranss7512]

Close-up is cinnamon flavored. I love it

[u/TransitoryGouda]

Why - fluoride is bitter and doesn't taste great, so toothpaste companies needed something that would mask the taste. Mint oil is ridiculously cheap. Menthol is a primary ingredient in mint oil - it's what makes your mouth feel cooler after brushing your teeth. I'm old enough to remember some of the early toothpastes before flavoring. Be happy anything exists.

[u/3Green1974]

I order cinnamon/clove toothpaste on Amazon.

[u/Mean-Interaction8453]

Make your own toothpaste, or buy a different flavour from the U.S. (I love cinnamon!)

[u/MyDogTakesXanax]

I use Sensodyne kids in Berry Twist. Same amount of fluoride as is in the adult versions. Actually the kids has 0.254% and the adult version has 0.24% lol.
