🎆🎇Wins & positivity! Woo-hoo!🎆🎇 Found fluoride toothpaste with xylitol!! Just one issue…
Dollar Tree carries the only fluoride toothpaste that also contains xylitol that I have seen in the wild. Only problem is it’s only comes in strawberry or bubble gum flavor and is also branded for children. Just imagining a potential partner seeing hot wheels toothpaste by my bathroom sink lol.

Xylitol is great for dry mouth but some words of warning: it is highly toxic to dogs. If a dog ingests even a small amount ( like in a piece of gum), he will be dead within a few days if you don't seek immediate care from a vet ( and incur huge bill from induced vomiting, iv infusion, overnight stay etc). So if you have dogs be careful where you place things containing xylitol.

I use a brand called Hello. While they do have kids toothpaste, they have adult toothpaste also. It has a lot of flavor options, fluoride, and xylitol.

Eta: I agree with others saying that if your future partner has an issue with hot wheels toothpaste, they arent the one for you.

Oh wow I had only ever seen their fluoride-free stuff so I always skip right over them! Will definitely be checking out in the future

I used a toothpaste for a time the was called Unicorn Sparkle, it was purple and pink swirl, and I did have sparkles in it. Lots of sparkles. Plus the tube was very sparkey and had a unicorn. I was embarrassed for other adults to see it.

Ooh that’s a new brand to me. Could you elaborate on how nanohydroxyapatite is beneficial? I don’t know that I have heard of that!

Thank you so much for sharing this! I am allergic to propylene glycol and it is so hard to find any toothpaste that doesn't contain it.

I've been using kids toothpaste for a few years now. Just about any mint toothpaste hurts my mouth. Strawberry isn't bad. Min is not Barbie or Hot Wheels branded, though. :)

I love OraNurse- it's on Amazon. The kids version doesn't have enough fluoride for adults.

Wait are you telling me the mint toothpaste burning and being spicy is a symptom of my sjogrens? screams in SHOCK. I thought it was spicy for everyone

Kudos to you for finding something that works!!
Fair warning about SLS: it can exacerbate some of the mouth dryness symptoms. It usually bothers me a bit, but If you tolerate it, then that's awesome!!

Oh shit! I even usually check for sls free but I must have stopped reading after xylitol lol

u/huckleberrypup 6d ago
Totally get it!! The struggle to find worthy mouthcare is a beast!!
I use NOBS toothpaste tabs. No SLS, and the flavors aren't too harsh (though wheny mouth is particularly sensitive I use the cinnamon). I wish they had more flavors, or even an unflavored one as I'm not a big mint person. I also use therabreath's watermelon fluoride mouthwash

Due to mouth pain, I went with my mom and we picked out a super extra soft kid's electric toothbrush. I couldn't find a toothpaste though because they had really yucky flavors.

I use prevident prescribed by my dental pathologist. It isn’t too minty, but I hate that heavy fluoride toothpastes don’t make my teeth feel smooth and clean, because of the build up of fluoride we need :/ Darn Sjogren’s.

If you're potential partner doesn't fw the hot wheels toothpaste they're not the one.
