When they dislike all toothpaste?

We have looked after DD's teeth really well but now she can't stand to brush her teeth in the mornings, when anxious. Says toothpaste is too spicy!! Tried lots of brands and even fruit flavoured. Any tips please??!

We use Oranurse. It's flavourless and cheap on Amazon. DS divides toothpastes into Oranurse and ' the stinging toothpaste'.

We use Oranurse too. It is the only thing that ds and dd can cope with.
We order ours through the local Lloyds chemist.

And if you go to fledglings website they sell oranurse and special toothbrushes that dont need many strokes as they clean all sides at same time.
I sympathise because normal toothpaste inflames my mouth and makes it v painful but i can use sainsburys basic as it is v mild so may be worth a shot!
