Ravin Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) I could use Hive help identifying a replacement. I do not like mint toothpaste. I have used ToM orange mango toothpaste for years. I can tolerate the Crest orange flavor, but they stopped making it also. I need grownup toothpaste that doesn't taste like mint. Help!

nixpix5 Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Tom's makes a fluoride kids toothpaste in strawberry. My kids use it and I think it would be plenty fine for adults :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justasque Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 No suggestions, sadly, but I share your feels about a much-loved item that's been discontinued. RIP, WholeSoy plain soy yogurt, Bobbi's garlic hummus, the Mountain Hardwear hiking skirt with deep pockets and a button fly, the Amy's lactose-free frozen lasagna and the mac cheese that seem to have been replaced with gluten-free versions, appliances of all kinds with mechanical control panels instead of computerized ones, the Capezio dance sneakers that actually fit me (and the Nike sneakers too), navy nubuck Birkenstock Arizonas with the original hard sole... it takes so long to find the perfect version of something useful. So annoying when it is discontinued. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BarbecueMom Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I have the same problem. The chocolate mint that Crest used to make was mild enough for me, but... they quit making it. I gave up on grownup paste and use Kids Crest now. Best I can do. Everything else makes me puke (which makes brushing teeth rather pointless).

mamaraby Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hello brand toothpaste has fruit flavors - blue raspberry and watermelon. Yes, it's their kid's toothpaste and yes, I know you said adult, but having used the adult toothpaste and accidentally using the kid's toothpaste, I have not noticed an appreciable difference. Is cinnamon ok? I use the cinnamon one from Aim. And, I will join the other poster in mourning the loss of Whole Soy yogurt in plain and otherwise. I have missed yogurt ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justasque Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 ... And, I will join the other poster in mourning the loss of Whole Soy yogurt in plain and otherwise. I have missed yogurt ever since. I used to special order the big tubs, a case (12 tubs) at a time. I haven't found a plain (not vanilla) soy yogurt since. I don't want the sugar that's in most soy and other non-dairy yogurts, and I DO want the protein that's lacking in the coconut one I tried this week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel Yell Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Peelu, Auromere, Weleda are brands I've seen in my local health food store that have mint-free toothpastes. Trader Joe's has a fennel/propolis/myrrh toothpaste that might have mint but the fennel is very strong so I'm not sure... don't have it right now or I'd check.

Tree Frog Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Oh, no! That's my toothpaste, too! I'd better check to see if my local HEB has any in stock and get what I can. I think Tom's makes a strawberry toothpaste, too. My dd doesn't like mint, so she uses kid's Crest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanabug Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 You might like the lemon flavor from Earthpaste, if you don't mind brown, non-foaming toothpaste. It's non fluoridated and has no glycerin, if those things matter to you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaVT Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Amazon has the kids Orange Mango for a reasonable price. I'm not sure how it differs from the adult version. DS loves the strawberry Tom's as well, which we can find in the local stores. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petrichor Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Um, does it taste like salty pine?? Good question. Now I'm wondering the same! I've been using homemade toothpaste, but the baking soda taste is strong. You could add more xylitol and flavoring than I do though, and maybe come up with something you like. Why do you need an "adult toothpaste" Aren't kids and adult toothpastes the same, with the difference being kids toothpastes tend to taste like fruit, and some are fluoride free? Dr. Bronner's and Jason are other choices to look at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ravin Posted August 7, 2017 Author Share Posted August 7, 2017 My kids use the strawberry kid's toothpaste. I would prefer with flouride. Cinnamon toothpaste in my experience tastes like cinnamon candy, which is gross, rather than actual cinnamon. Clove I would assume tastes like clove cigarettes smell. Negative associations there make me reluctant to try it. I would prefer a citrus/orange type fruit flavor, something whole care not just anticavity.

SparklyUnicorn Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Another one I use is from Biotine. It is mint, but it barely tastes like anything. It is free of irritating ingredients (specially whatever it is that makes the toothpaste froth up...which I hate). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spy Car Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Um, does it taste like salty pine?? Mostly like Pine, not really salty. I went to do a due diligence check, only to find we just ran out and the tube was replaced with "Bamboo Salt with White Tea." What does bamboo taste like? There is also a tube something new (and very foreign looking) that I can't figure without putting on some glasses. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

almondbutterandjelly Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Amazon has Children's Outrageous Orange Mango for $7.71. If I'm reading it right, that's for a pack of 3. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JUJ1BJG?th=1 Maybe they are just renaming and re-marketing it as a Children's Toothpaste?

meena Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I was sad to find that the Orange Mango was discontinued when I made my yearly bulk toothpaste purchase a while back. That's DH's favorite and my kids liked it as well. I bought a whole bunch of different toothpastes for them to try. The least minty that I bought is Very Berry Mint by Jason (Oral Comfort line, which is for sensitive teeth--we don't really need that but I wanted to try the flavor). Next in line is Vanilla Powermint by Jason. It does have mint but it is subtle, definitely not as strong as most toothpastes. Chlosys mouthwash is flavorless. I use it before brushing, but if I had to use a toothpaste flavor I really didn't like I would probably rinse with it afterward to get some of the taste out of my mouth. Or I would find a mouthwash with a taste I liked. The Dr. Brite Strawberry flavor looks good: https://www.drbrite.com/products/revitalizing-mouth-rinse-mint?variant=31259397254 I just noticed they also make a kids' toothpaste in strawberry flavor. All of these I've mentioned are fluoride-free, though, so may not be what you're looking for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2samlibby Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I've been using this one for two months now. I love it. My teeth feel cleaner than they ever have and the sensitivity is going away. I don't have any bleeding now when I floss. https://www.primallifeorganics.com/collections/specials-2/products/dirty-mouth-primal-toohpowder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngieW in Texas Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 All three of my kids use Toms of Maine strawberry. My 19yo is very allergic to mint. Even standing near somebody who is chewing mint gum causes major breathing problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
