Why are teeth restoring toothpastes less minty than regular toothpastes?

161 viewsChemistryOther

The regular Crest scope or Colgate max fresh or Close-up types of toothpastes have a strong minty taste and my mouth and breath feel great after using them.

Other, high flouride toothpastes I’ve recently started trying to use like Sensodyne, Colgate Previ-dent, or Crest Pro-Health are not very minty at all and i feel like my breath is quickly bad after using it.

Is there a reason the high fluoride, restorative toothpastes cant be more minty?

Since your main question has been answered, just a comment about bad breath: it is not normal to de-develop bad breath right after after brushing your teeth if you don’t eat/drink/smoke in the mean time. You might want to consider: 

 a) using a tongue scraper, which are super cheap and quick to use, and dentists often give to you for free as part of a sampler bag if you ask (and they can last a long time).  

b) getting checked out for tonsil stones or other gum infections, which often cause really bad breath.
