Toothpaste recommendation

MaudL · 2017-11-15 13:34:25

Hiya, My 7 year old absolutely hates the taste of mint, and I'm having a lot of trouble finding a toothpaste appropriate for his age that is not mint-flavoured. He's currently using a berry flavour one, but it's for ages 3-6. Any recommendations please? Thanks!

I use the strawberry flavoured one from Tesco. The dentist told me that so long as the fluoride content is 1450ppm it’s grand, because that’s what’s in adult toothpaste. The berry one had only 1000ppm
