the anti-fluoride people are back... I mean, if you like anti-vax stuff why not? It's the same swindle.

"precious bodily fluids" and all that.

I hate the taste of mint so I'm always looking for toothpaste that tastes better... I was horrified to discover that if you go of the beaten path with toothpaste there are 100s of brands with "no fluoride" which only a tiny number of people really need... Be careful if you use a "crunchy" brand ... fluoride is amazing.

By the way if you hate mint (or any menthol like taste) toothpaste I found a few brands that HAVE fluoride but don't have a minty taste they are:

BURSTkids "bubblegum" "mareshmallow" and strawberry.

Hismile "strawberry" and "grape"

Tom's Children's Strawberry WITH FLUORIDE (they make one without be careful)

I'm cavity prone, have a sweet-tooth and the pallet of a nine year old.

If you know of others let me know. The BURSkids is the best, it's made brushing enjoyable.

@futurebird Thanks for this information! I don't dislike the taste of mint but I do hate mint burn. Some toothpastes are painful!

@jinglepostman

The BURSTkids mareshmallow is nice and mild and I love it enough to put up with it twice a day because my dentist said I need to brush basically all the damn time.

@futurebird I have a cinnamon flavored one I use. They are no longer stocked in our regular grocery stores but they are available online. I much prefer it to mint flavors.

@geniodiabolico

Cinnamon is too exciting for me when brushing teeth.

Yes I drink hot sauce and love strong flavors... but I need ultra bland toothpaste or it's a torture session.

@futurebird Marvis has a licorice flavor, and several others (jasmine mint, ginger mint) in which mint is in the backseat.

@carrideen

Does Marvis have fluoride? I got worried it didn't.

@futurebird but Alex Jones told me fluoride would overwhelm my brain and turn me into a slave of the new world order so they could make me accept Canadian troops living in my basement for the UN. Hard to know the truth when there are two sides to this argument.

@futurebird
the anti-flouride people never went away, they just took some time off the anti-flouride beat so they could push antivax propaganda.

@futurebird I stopped using a tooth powder that I otherwise quite liked when I found out it didn't contain fluoride. It's often missing in "organic" brands because apparently that target demographic believes fluoride is bad. Another thing to look out for, btw, because you mention kids' toothpaste, is how abrasive a toothpaste is. Many common brands are very abrasive which you don't need unless you smoke and want white teeth.

@futurebird oraNurse is the toothpaste brand of choice for my mint-hating fluoride-loving life partner. "Specifically formulated for mouths sensitive to strong flavors."

We have like a dozen boxes stocked up 😂
