    I have an aloe vera and bee propolis tootpaste with tastes like garden mint. It is made by forever living and can be bought from ebay. It is expensive at around £7 per tube but if you're upchucking after each brushing session then it has to be worth it surely?

    its a very different taste! however given you dont like 'normal' toothpaste. then maybe its for you?

    Retardex toothpaste does hardly foam up and has a mild taste, also my sister once had tooth salt which you sprinkled on the toothbrush. It didn't foam up at all but I didn't like the taste. She swears on it though. It's not proper salt btw. Not sure if it's available here though as she lives in Germany.
    :hello:
  • Don't think this has already been mentioned.. how about bicarb? I used to use it and it is well known for getting teeth clean and white :)

    The problem with the salt, euthymol, aloe vera toothpastes and bicarb is that they have no fluoride and will give you no protection against decay. If you need root treatment I would guess protection against decay is fairly important.

    If your teeth are sensitive to cold use the sensodyne or other sensitive toothpaste (such as Lidl) but not as a toothpaste. Last thing at night rub it on sensitive teeth with your finger and don't rinse out, it will gradually build up a layer to stop sensitivity.

    i have seen a lime flavoured toothpaste in boots, can't remember what make , i personally prefer the traditional mint or spearmint taste but for anyone who does'nt might be worth trying this one, don't know if it would contain flouride
  • Dawood and Tanner toothpaste - it's in Boots in these flavours
    Peppermint
    Spearmint
    Lime
    Lemon

    love, love it, can't use normal stuff it burns my mouth. Has 1450pp (think thats right) of fluoride in it

    Why don't you use the Paul McKenna technique in reverse? ie associate toothpaste with something you enjoy the taste of.
