Recommend a non-minty kid's toothpaste

[londoncalling]

DD1 keeps complaining that every toothpaste that I buy is "too minty" even when it's strawberry or fruit flavor.  The only thing she doesn't complain about is the fluoride free infant stuff which isn't an option.

I'm willing to buy something else, but I don't want to just randomly start buying every toothpaste on the shelf if she's going to reject it and then waste it.

ditto @vicmo, my kids like the strawberry toms of maine

eta- also- would letting her pick it out help? I know mine would use whatever they picked themselves

We use strawberry toms. I have no idea if it's minty. I guess I should try it? Lol

Strawberry Tom's will be my first try. Thank you. I tried her current Colgate strawberry and it's NOT MINTY! But if I can stop this fight with a different brand of toothpaste then that's what I'll do to not have this argument twice a day.

I let her choose the current stuff

J likes the mango flavored Tom's of Maine best.

Strawberry Tom's here too. My kids both love it.

Fun side note: I once won a $250.00 American Express gift card from Tom's of Maine for filling out their survey. I got a personal phone call and everything. I bought a grill with it. Tom's for life...haha.

We also use strawberry Tom's with no complaints.

Strawberry Toms is not minty at all.

There's also the bmmade-up bubble fruit flavor that crest or some other commercial brand makes. And Colgate has a watermelon one. It's electric green, if you can get over the thought of how much extra crap is in that tube.

And if you're ever in France, try the kids' Signal brand that comes in a pink tube or a blue tube.

But you're SOL if you go to Argentina bc there was no non-minty toothpaste at any of the pharmacies I went to there.

I spend a lot of time buying toothpaste on vacation.

Strawberry Tom's here too

We use Colgate cinnamon. The kids toothpaste, and I believe Tom's too, do not have fluoride, which my dentist uncle recommends.

I have had two exchange students from Central/South America and they both complained incessentantly that American toothpaste is not minty enough. Ha.

Strawberry Tom's here too. When we switched to that from the fluoride-free Oral B infant stuff she complained about the taste at first, so I put a little swipe of that on top of the Tom's. Seemed to do the trick.
