What I really like about Kingfisher toothpastes is that they contain no artificial colourings, flavourings, sweeteners or preservatives, and they use real fennel. If you’re someone that loves the taste of fennel and aniseed, you’ll probably adore the taste of the toothpaste. I tried the vanilla flavour. The flavour was sweet and mild and did not last after spitting out the excess. It is a solid white crème which is non foaming. I have included it as an option in case it is a flavour you are very interested in, but it may be expensive because it will likely be shipped from the USA or UK.

The mint flavour was natural tasting (not overpowering like other toothpaste brands) but I didn’t find the tooth brushing experience refreshing. The fennel flavour, however, is incredible, and I’ve been using it religiously for six years and my oral hygiene has been very good. Endeavoring to be as sustainable and healthy as possible, I’ve developed a strong view on using as many natural products as possible. Toothpaste, since you’re putting it in your mouth, is very important in this respect and that’s why I’ve decided to post this Kingfisher toothpaste review. Kingfisher make a number of non mint toothpastes, but this fennel flavoured one is the only one containing fluoride. As with the list above, the recommendations in the table below cover various countries. Availability may vary depending on your location. Brand As a dentist I do recommend choosing a toothpaste with fluoride in it, but have included some non-fluoride options below.

I grew up using Colgate and Aquafresh. When I developed tooth sensitivity, my dentist pushed me onto Sensodyne, which I used for many years. In our list of recommended options, we have included truly non-mint toothpastes that do not contain traces of mint (apart from the high-street recommendation, Colgate Kids Mild Fruit).

I reached out to the manufacturers of the toothpastes below to confirm that they do not have mint oils or aromas. I’ve rounded up a whole list of non-mint toothpastes below, and you can see which ones don’t contain fluoride below. Some popular options include: We are aware that some toothpaste is labelled as ‘non-mint’, but does still contain mint alongside the main flavour that is listed. In this situation, mint is not always listed in the ingredients. A non-mint fluoride free toothpaste that contains no fluoride and which does contain an alternative remineralising agent. Calcium phosphates (such as hydroxyapatite) help re-harden the tooth surface in a similar way to fluoride. These ingredients are newer than fluoride and are still undergoing long term studies, but are showing a lot of promise. They are normally more expensive than fluoride, but there is lots of evidence supporting their effectiveness. Tooth Mousse is fluoride free, but contains a specialist ingredient called Recaladent. This CCP-ACP is a way to get calcium and phosphate to the tooth which will prevent tooth decay. It also helps prevent tooth sensitivity.Fluoride is a vital ingredient to toothpaste, and only toothpastes which contain fluoride will normally be recommended by dentists. Do read the instructions that come with this dental crème as it is not the same as using a regular toothpaste. When you rinse your mouth after brushing your teeth with Colgate, Aquafresh and even Sensodyne, it doesn’t matter how much you rinse, you can’t get rid of that toothpaste taste. It can linger for hours and it sometimes feels like you’ve cauterised the inside of your mouth.

It is designed to be used in addition to regular toothpaste to help manage sensitivity. Ideally you brush with toothpaste and then apply the crème with your finger and an interdental brush to get between the teeth.

GC Tooth Mousse– this has an alternative remineralising ingredient, is great for sensitivity, and has a wide range of flavours. It is available from:

A non-mint fluoride free toothpaste that contains no fluoride and no major source of remineralising agent. Whilst ingredients like xylitol have a small anti-cavity effect, it would not be enough to be remineralising in the same way as fluoride. As a dentist, I don’t normally recommend fluoride free toothpaste, as you miss out on the known anti-cavity properties of fluoride, but I do respect that some people may still wish to avoid toothpastes containing fluoride. To still get the anti-cavity benefits of your mint free toothpaste, make sure it still has fluoride in its list of ingredients. The following is a list of toothpastes that are not mint flavoured, but do still contain mint trace in the form of oils or aromas.GC make lots of different dental products and materials. Tooth Mousse is one of those available to the general public, however leaflets and GC recommend you should talk to a dental professional before using this product. With Kingfisher, however, two rinses gets rid of the toothpaste and you’re left with a gentle fennel aftertaste that completely dissipates after 10 minutes, leaving you with a clean, refreshed taste in your mouth.
