For many, the strong flavour and foaming action of toothpaste can be unpleasant, resulting in spitting and gagging when the teeth are brushed. This can be particularly uncomfortable for those with sensory needs or who have trouble swallowing.

Product Description
OraNurse is an unflavoured toothpaste specially formulated for people sensitive to intense flavours. It was initially developed in response to the needs of autistic children who have a problem with taste, even to the extent of not liking the taste of water. This has resulted in the development of a toothpaste with no sodium lauryl sulphate (foaming agent) or flavourings available in a range of fluoride strengths and an RDA (relative dentin abrasion) value of 29.68.
We recommend reducing the fluoride formula for children prone to swallowing toothpaste.
Available in 2 options:
- OraNurse Unflavoured Toothpaste (1000ppm Fluoride) for age 0-3 years.
- OraNurse Unflavoured Toothpaste (1450ppm Fluoride) for age 3 and above.
For children aged 3-6, use a pea-sized amount on the brush.
Other possible indications for the need of an unflavoured toothpaste include:
- People who simply don’t like the taste of mint. Adults and children who perceive mint to have a ‘hot’ or ‘burning’ sensation.
- Adults and children with learning disabilities.
- Lichen Planus sufferers.
- Head and neck cancer patients after radiotherapy.
- Burning mouth syndrome.
- Asperger syndrome.
- Autism.
- Sjögrens syndrome.
- Behcets disease.
- Kawasaki disease.
- Parkinson’s disease.
- People that have an intolerance to Limonene.
