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?

No research, no knowledge, but I’d say Marketing.
You buy a toothpaste that is 1- more expensive, and 2 – for its alledged medical purposes (well I imagine that’s what people buy them for).
You expect them to taste different, maybe even be less palatable, almost like what you expect medicine to taste.
Obviously, the company makes sure the taste isn’t repulsive either, they don’t want to scare the client away from buying their product again. Yet, they want to make sure the client notices it is less minty. They want to make the client remember he is using THEIR Brand’s teeth restoring toothpaste.
The label is even less flashy, more medical. For this Such medicine aesthetic.
Plus, other brands cost as much as 15$, and the dentist will charge you 500$, but this brand goes for the low low price of 9,99$. Wow. And it’s available in all Pharmacies.
Stop using the product if your teeth fall off when using the toothpaste, ask your dentist for professional advice before using the toothpaste if you have a dental illness.
