I reached out to the manufacturers of the toothpastes below to confirm that they do not have mint oils or aromas. We have then included a further list of toothpastes that we have confirmed with manufacturers to be truly non-mint, and a separate list of pastes that contain traces of mint. When I tried this toothpaste is is a savoury spicy flavour, similar to licorice. This strong flavour won’t be to everyone’s taste, and it leaves an after taste too. It is a toothpaste that adults may like, but children are unlikely to enjoy it. 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.

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. Kingfisher make a number of non mint toothpastes, but this fennel flavoured one is the only one containing fluoride. Fluoride is a vital ingredient to toothpaste, and only toothpastes which contain fluoride will normally be recommended by dentists.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. 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.

Kingfisher also do an aloe vera flavour and whitening charcoal option. I’ve not tried these yet, because the fennel has just been such a winner for me, but I will try them this year and let you know what I think. 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. 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 Tooth Mousse– this has an alternative remineralising ingredient, is great for sensitivity, and has a wide range of flavours. It is available from: 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. 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. 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.
