Toothpaste

Daisy1981 2 days ago

Hi there, any recommendations/ strategies to help my little one who is having sensory difficulty with mint toothpaste. At the moment we are still using the young strawberry toothpaste. I have bought ones with no flavour and a watermelon flavour but they cannot tolerate either. As they get older, I will be running out of supermarket options suitable for their age. Anyone else experiencing this? Thanks in advance.

I’ve been through this many times for myself and my children - we hate minty toothpaste and strong tasting toothpaste. I have to say the only ones we’ve actually liked are those strawberry flavoured ones for young children. Unfortunately they are not really suitable for older children and adults because they don’t have the right amount of fluoride.

Thank you for your reply. I will have a look for the previous thread. They can continue with the strawberry, but the one they like is only recommended for 8 years old and under.

What changes in toothpaste by age? Is it fluoride content? If there is no big change, then ignore the age labels.

There was a thread recently where a group of us adults were discussing having problems getting a toothpaste we could tolerate, including me. At the moment the only one I've found that I can use is Sainsbury's Stamford Street one, which is a mild mint flavour. But if your little one cannot tolerate any mint flavour, why not continue with the strawberry one?
