Toothpaste!

NAS71914

My 12 year old son has always struggled to brush his teeth and has recently been having difficulty in completing this task which has caused some tension to say the least. Today he told me it is the minty taste he finds overpowering and does not like the texture. Can anyone recommend a toothpaste that may be suitable to use? Tried and tested? Thanks all in advance..

  • I've never had an issue with the taste of toothpaste, but the texture of the toothbrush and the sound and vibrations of brushing the teeth is very unpleasant for me, to the point that I cannot watch it in TV and movies. It's like fingernails on a chalkboard for me and I cannot believe how often people are brushing their teeth in TV shows! It adds nothing to the narrative but it seems to be really commonly shown for some reason, perhaps as a lazy trope for "this person just got up".
