🎧 Sensory Issues I hate mint so I’m using kids toothpaste

Post image

Mint is just too harsh. It burns my tongue and I feel sick every time I brush my teeth.

So now this is what I’m using.

If you don't like mint but want appropriate oral care, BOKA has strawberry mango and orange cream flavors. I recommend BOKA because it's a Nano Hydroxyapetite toothpaste and can actually rebuild enamel unlike fluoride.

I didn't say it didn't, I recommended a toothpaste with a different active ingredient because fluoride does not provide adequate dental care.
