      Yes. It covers the top of the teeth kids still need to brush really well because you can easily get cavities in between your teeth, etc…

        is that the mouthgaurd filled with flavored goo that you have to keep in your mouth for 29 minutes while you drool all over yourself?

            And you’re basically supposed to do the same thing twice a day with your toothpaste, which is why the tube says “spit out after brushing” and not “make a little cup with your hand and use it to swish some water from the sink around in your mouth, rinsing most of the fluoride off before it has a chance to work”.

                  you’re not wrong, but almost half a century on this rock and have never encountered a “better tasting”

                  Assuming you mean there’s an actual good one that exists. I remember my aunt used a Disney/bubblegum that was meant for kids well into her forties until she couldn’t find it anymore. There’s those, I guess?

                    I suppose there are some people who just hate the taste of mint. I can’t fault the you for that, especially if you’ve tried several different brands and hate them all.

                    I have found several high, fluoride mouthwashes, however, that don’t quite taste like mint. They have a sort of… Well, I’m not really sure how to describe the flavor. But it’s not really mint. Best of luck!

                    what I don’t get is all of the different kinds all touting unique benefits. like anti-cavity, or whitening, or fluoride, or whatever. how come there isnt a toothpaste that has all of the benefits rolled into one tube? why do I have to choose?
