My children have some milk teeth and some adult teeth. They do not like minty toothpaste. I've tried everything in the colgate/aquafresh range. They need more protection than the milky milk teeth toothpastes offer. What non-mint toothpaste can you recommend?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Wilko do a kids strawberry toothpaste with 1450ppm of floride which is a level appropriate for adult teeth. Quite a few kids toothpastes have this floride level so it's just a case of scrutinising the packaging really.

Tesco do strawberry icecream flavour which has adult flouride levels.

Ds uses a crest mild mint toothpaste that I get from home bargains. You can get unflavoured Oranurse toothpaste from Amazon I think.

I second Oranurse - it has no flavour at all but an adult amount of fluoride.

I third oranurse. No taste at all it was such a relief to find something dd would use.

Morrisons do a berry flavoured toothpaste which has adult levels (1450ppm) of fluoride. My dentist has confirmed that it is fine for DD (11) to use indefinitely.
