I once saw fruity flavoured toothpaste and cannot wrap my head around how your mouth can possibly feel clean after that

[–] Dave2@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Aren't those for children, like for building habits and shit

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You know what, that makes a lot more sense

I assumed it was for people who were sensitive to mint

[–] TheCoolerMia@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I had a strawberry flavored one as a kid and holy fuck it was so horrible, it made my whole mouth cringe so much >v< but The Adults™ kept saying that mint is the bad one and no it's not??? and if it was so bad y even were they using it??? X3 so one time at the dentist they were cleaning my teeth and let me choose mint or strawberry as usual and I thought mint couldn't possibly be worse so I chose that for once and yup, it was fine :P

I wonder if I can find some in bubblegum flavor...

[–] RogueBanana@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

But does the taste liner after washing your mouth? Especially with a mouth wash? Listerine mint ones has quite a strong taste so I would imagine that won't be a problem.

We used to have chocolate and bubblegum flavored toothpaste sold unironically to adults. I guess people had really bad oral hygiene then

I'd love to use herb toothpaste, but it all seems to be very expensive and fluoride-free. I found one I really liked at a drugstore in Paris once, but I can't seem to get it in the US.

Like herbal remedy or just herbs besides mint? Rosemary toothpaste?

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Herbal flavor. Rosemary would be nice

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[–] TheTetrapod@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Why not? Rosemary is lovely.

[–] whostosay@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Not by itself and not as toothpaste imo

[–] azi@mander.xyz 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If it's fluoride free then it doesn't do much. Get toothpaste with actual medicinal ingredients

in my defence, am sleeby ouppy 😌

[–] Ketchup@reddthat.com 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Best one I’ve tried is Florida free called periobrite by natures answer. Before that Blanx, but I havnt used it in a while or know who sells it.

[–] pooberbee@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 years ago

No, i want fluoride

You must be a white anglo Saxon male

[–] shasta@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Nope. Never even been to Saxony.

Better than asking a dentist is asking a dental hygienist. Dentists are dental surgeons primarily concerned with solving specific problems with surgical intervention. Hygienists are oral health nurses concerned with preventive care and overall health and wellbeing.

And listen to your hygienist. There is no cure-all toothpaste for everyone (eg not everyone needs anti-sensitivity toothpaste, the risk of erosion in whitening toothpastes might be a concern for some people, some people need higher fluoride concentrations, etc)

I have sensory aversion to mint and I need clean teeth. Cinnamon toothpaste does the job for me

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Huh weird. I’m the opposite in where my mouth bursts into blisters if I use cinnamon but mint is totally fine.

[–] Faydaikin@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I'm not good with mint either. Triggers my gag reflex something fierce.

Using Mango-toothpaste at the moment.
