Is there a toothpaste for sensitive teeth that actually tastes nice?

as per thread title, really.

I need SLS-free toothpaste and my favourite brand is no longer available in the UK.

Does any kind person have a recommendation? I can't bear salty tasting toothpaste.

Some of the sensodyne ones are sls free

I don't know about the SLS stuff, but tescos own brand sensitive toothpaste is nice. I've used it for years.

Really weirdly, the only toothpaste that has ever helped my sensitive teeth is the standard Aloe Dent toothpaste (you can get it in Holland and Barrett).

I've tried all the others - this is the only one that works for me and it's not even marketed for sensitivity.

Took a few days for me to notice a difference, but I haven't had tooth pain since and can now drink cold drinks and hot tea again.

Interested in this thread?

Standard aloe dent doesn't have any fluoride in it so it won't protect from decay.
Non foaming non flavoured oronurse toothpaste is available from asda pharmacy and amazon. It's not minty or salty at all!

I really like Aloe Dent from the health food shop and am happy to use it for myself as I don't eat sugar or drink sugary drinks and haven't had a filling for over 40 years. But think I need a fluoride toothpaste for my sweet toothed son. It's just that Sensodyne tastes so ghastly!

I use Corsadyl on dentists recommendation. It tastes absolutely vile. Any substitutes welcomed.

Oranurse has no flavour and contains fluoride

I use Curaprox Enzycal 1450 which is SLS free. I've stopped using Sensodyne Enamel because it was too frothy.
Curaprox has a very mild taste. The toothbrushes are good too.

Superdrug do a charcoal one (both sensitive and normal versions) and despite being black, which is a bit off-putting at first, it tastes nice and has massively improved all my oral issues (I can't use pastes with SLS either) and it's the only one I use now.
