 Hi all,

Started back on Pazopanib a week ago 

Taste changes OK so far - except my usual toothpaste (Sainsbury's basic) is stinging my tongue  

 I've tried their spearmint ordinary tooth paste, but it's just the same. Can anyone suggest what else I might try?.Wondered about kids' toothpaste. I can visualize the box but can't remember it's name!

Thanks for your help

    Hi

    i use Oranurse flavour free. You an buy it online. It’s a bit more expensive than normal toothpaste but it doesn’t sting. Children’s toothpaste is an easier/cheaper alternative but my dentist wasn’t keen because it has less fluoride in it.

    I've never been wild about the taste of toothpaste but have found a Dentalux herbal version in Lidl's. It's not pepperminty and might be worth a try. It's certainly not expensive. It's got all the fluoride in the proportions the dentists recommend.

    Fear of the unknown is the worst thing. Once we know what we're facing, we find the strength to deal with it.
