Toothpaste that doesnt make me hurl (lemmy.world)

I know at least some of us suffer with issues with morning (and probably night routines) I just want to share a new toothpaste I love.

Boka makes toothpaste that is a wee bit pricey (12 dollars a tube) but I find I use so much less of it. It comes in very mild flavors (the mint is faintly minty) and it doesn't foam in your mouth.

Honestly this is the first toothpaste in my whole life that has made me gag or barf during or after using it. If anyone else has sensory issues with toothpaste I highly recommend this one.

Allergy warning though, I think they all have coconut in some form but honestly you can't taste the coconut.

This is what I use, too! It's so hard to find non-minty toothpaste. I think I remember Tom's has a clove or cinnamon flavor but it doesn't have fluoride or nHa, so I worried about protecting my teeth.

Another non-minty toothpaste: Tanner's Tasty Paste (here's an amazon link for their Vanilla Bling flavor, which is indeed tasty: https://a.co/d/eyJlgCk). It's apparently intended for kids, but it has the same active ingredient as regular fluoride adult toothpaste!

For a slightly cheaper suggestion, Dr. Bronner's anise or spearmint toothpastes are also very mild and low foam. About $6 for 5oz. I don't know if it's as effective science-wise but you can also brush your teeth with the Castile soap, for like a lavender or orange flavor, but it's hella foamy.

The right toothpaste changed my overall stress tolerance level a disturbing amount lol. Thank you for bringing light to this

Oh I have seen those but didn't know they were mild. Good to know thank you!
