time to change to adult toothpaste!!

[usernamealredyinuse1]

I have a 6yr old boy with asd he has now got a couple of his adult teeth through so it's time to change his toothpaste but but he is so restricted to what he will have near him with smell look and taste I don't want this to be a scary thing for him to do please help!!

My ds doesn't like strong minty stuff either, we use Sensodyne Pronamel (6-12yo) which seems to be milder. It's the only one he has accepted. Could you start by mixing a teeny tiny bit of it in with his existing toothpaste to get him used to new flavour?

I feel your pain - dd (NT, 4yo going on 14) hates just about every single toothpaste on the market and brushing is a major daily battle

He says it has a very mild non minty taste but is certainly worth a try. It does have a good fluoride content.

Sorry lost the beginning of my post.

Ds is 17 and I have only just found an adult toothpaste he will use. It is called Oranurse and is (afaik) only available online.

First post is Ds's recommendation.

Aquafresh have a big teeth toothpaste in their range, which contains almost as much fluoride as an adult toothpaste. It's very mild - DS1 can't tolerate the mintiness of even mildmint adult toothpaste, but is fine with the aquafresh, which has more of a weird bubblegum flavour.

I have a small tube of oranurse you can have if you want to try it, it was given to us by dentist, opened tried once, and ds hated it ( ds loves mint, the mintier the better and would eat toothpaste if he could). It is odourless and flavourless. Pm me your address, if you would like me to stick it in the post for you.
