AngieW in Texas Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 My 15yo is looking for a very mildly flavored toothpaste. All the mint flavors she has tried burn her mouth. She wouldn't go near cinnamon. She has been using Tom's of Maine strawberry for a very long time, but she said that it just doesn't make her mouth feel clean. She has tried all the "kids" flavored toothpastes and Tom's of Maine is the only one that has worked for her. The others taste too much like candy to her. Does anybody have a suggestion for a very mildly flavored toothpaste? It can be mint or spearmint or something else, but it has to be very mild.

zoobie Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I like Kiss My Face toothpastes. Their mint tastes like actual mint with some other herby flavors instead of BLUE MINT. I haven't tried this one but maybe the orange would make it milder? http://www.kissmyface.com/natural-oral-care/item/5/Sensitive-Toothpaste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 DS likes Crest Pro Health For Me. It is a very mild mint, marketed to Tweens - so it's not fruity flavored, but not the full mint flavor either. FWIW, DS says regular mint toothpaste burns, too.

fdrinca Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Trader Joe's makes a nice fennel toothpaste. It's not too strong, especially if she likes licorice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan C. Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Could it be the fluoride? Fluoride makes my mouth burn. I use this: http://www.iherb.com/Now-Foods-Solutions-Xyli-White-Toothpaste-Gel-with-Baking-Soda-Fluoride-Free-Platinum-Mint-6-4-oz-181-g/11465 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterPan Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 My dd is like this because of sensory and uses Shaklee Wintergreen flavor toothpaste. The dentist said for times when it's really too much for her, to use it for less time (say 30 seconds) and spit out and complete brushing without. Or the alternate was to use baking soda.

Miss Peregrine Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 I like Weleda toothpastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweetandSimple Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Try Squigle-- I love this toothpaste!!! Very mild, but leaves a clean mouth and strong teeth! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanabug Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Redmond Earthpaste Lemon Twist flavor! It's a fabulous toothpaste, no fluoride, glycerin, or SLS. Only "problem" is getting used to brushing your teeth with brown toothpaste! :) Lana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisoncooks Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Thanks for starting this thread! My youngest has issues with mint and cinnamon... and we've been using Tom's of Maine Strawberry for a while, but I'd love to have some other options!

Tangerine Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Has she also tried the kid's mild mint version of Tom's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kebo Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Xyliwhite refreshmint is a mild mint flavor. No fluoride but it does have xylitol. We purchase from Amazon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackie Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 My DD likes the combination of the Toms of Maine strawberry (for cleanliness) with the fairly mild Crest Pro-health For Me mint mouthwash for the clean "feel". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momma2three Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I use the Tom's of Maine mango flavor. I have to get in on Amazon because I haven't seen it in a store. I HATE mint, so it was this amazing revelation that brushing my teeth didn't have to be painful. And my mouth still feels brushed and clean afterwards. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the strawberry one a kids toothpaste? The mango one is a grownup toothpaste with all the fluoride and whatever else differentiates it.

Jen in PA Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Pepsodent works for my kiddo who can't handle most mint toothpastes, but felt like he was outgrowing the Tom's of Maine strawberry. I think it tastes like wintergreen lifesavers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ravin Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I like Citrus flavor toothpaste. I use Tom's of Maine mango tangerine (I think that's what it's called). I buy out at Sprouts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatHomeschoolDad Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 Might be over the top, but my prescription toothpaste is reeeealy mild mint. Ask yer dentist? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommymonster Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I use Crest Complete Citrus. Tastes great and is not overpowering at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
