    Colgate Smiles for 6+ is mildy minty- my dd prefers it to ordinary toothpaste, it's worth trying to see if perhaps she;d get used to the taste for when she's older?

    My sons hate mint. They use bicarbonate of soda toothpaste which I get from most supermarkets or health food shops or Mentadent P goes down quite well.

    You can get Kingfisher toothpaste from health food shops. It comes in aniseed flavour which is quite nice. :)

    How about the lush ones? They do a black one which my 4 year old seems to love...especially whilst in use and the foam is all black!

    I have used "Tom's of Maine" toothpaste for years - you can buy it in Holland and Barrett.

    loads of flavours, no sweetners

    Anything labelled 'suitable for use with homeopathy' is mint-free.

    I remember there was an older thread on this, so maybe you could try searching? I think I remember people suggesting Holland and Barratts or Lush, but I haven't got time to look.
    Yes, I started it, here.

    Since then we've long since run out of the apple, lemon and watermelon toothpastes and I haven't seen them for a while (used to see them in Boots and Morrisons at one point). However I have lots of sample tubes of Aquafresh and DS2 seems OK with that for now.

    but it IS a problem!

    I was exactly the same as a child, and even now won't use the white frothy mint ones. I used to use milk teeth strawberry flavour but moved onto colgate blue minty gel (I found the gel wasn;t as offensive!) then aquafresh.

    I'm pretty sure I've seen a crest lemon one tho
