Toothpaste help please!

Can anybody recommend a toothpaste that doesn't froth up too much please?

I've a very strong gag reflex which seems to be getting worse over time, and a mouthful of frothy bubbles when I clean my teeth is really beginning to cause me problems with heaving. It's really not pleasant. I only use the absolute minimum toothpaste on the brush already, so if I could find one that doesn't get so frothy it would be a great help.
Thank you.

Oranurse is none foaming and none flavoured my youngest has issues with both.

Oh thank you @nedtherobbot
Is that available from regular chemists or do you have to order it?

You need one that doesn’t contain sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Some of the sensodyne are sls free.

Biotene for dry mouth. You can get it in Boots or on Amazon. It comes in a couple of fairly mild flavours

We use proenamel (green top) it isn't.too foamy also oral b but that is a bit "claggy".

The Arm and Hammer baking soda toothpastes don't really froth, I've used them for years.

Ultradex. No froth or toothpaste taste

Are you using too much? You only need a pea size amount.

I'm using less than that - probably half a pea.

Thanks for the suggestions, folks. Our local supermarket is only small and doesn't carry much of a range, so next time I have to visit a bigger one I will see what I can find.
