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.
