I'm dying from morning sickness, and even brushing my teeth has become an ordeal. I've been gagging and throwing up every time I brush my teeth with Crest toothpaste, so I'm in desperate need of milder toothpaste that doesn't set me off. Is there any toothpaste that you had success with during your pregnancy?
I highly recommend Boka Ela Mint Toothpaste for anyone struggling with severe morning sickness. It was a lifesaver for me.
The toothpaste is fluoride-free and has a very mild and non-overpowering flavor. The subtle mint, green tea, and cardamom blend is way less intense than regular mint toothpaste (which can trigger gagging). Many traditional toothpastes foam up too much, making brushing extra uncomfortable when nauseous—this one doesn’t!
During my pregnancy, I dreaded brushing my teeth every morning because regular toothpaste made me instantly gag (even my go-to brands were suddenly unbearable). Some days, I could barely get through 30 seconds without feeling like I had to throw up. I switched to Boka Ela Mint, and my first trimester got tolerable - and I emphasize tolerable, lol. It's brutal, girl. The mild flavor, low foam, and gentle formula made brushing so much easier—I could actually get through it without dry heaving. Hang in there, it'll pass.
I so feel what you're going through. Morning sickness is not a joke.
Schmidt's Wondermint Tooth+Mouth Paste worked for me. It was tolerable and didn't irritate my tastebuds or sense of smell.
It also made my breath fresher, effectively removing any food breath, which was a huge trigger during my pregnancy.
I haven’t tried Schmidt’s other flavor offerings yet, but I love Wondermint so much. No matter what you eat (like onion, for example), the toothpaste will leave your mouth feeling refreshed and clean.
The strong mint flavor instantly freshens my mouth as I brush my teeth, and the toothpaste doesn’t have any weird aftertaste after rinsing.
I also love the transparent ingredient list – it’s a must these days and especially during pregnancy. The toothpaste is made free of SLS, fluoride, PEG, dye, and artificial flavors.
Oh, I feel for you! Morning sickness is rough, and when even brushing your teeth is triggering, it’s a whole new level of challenging. Many moms-to-be have found that switching to milder, less minty toothpaste can make a huge difference. Here are some recommendations that could help.
Hello Sensitivity Relief Toothpaste (Soothing Mint or Watermelon): This brand is known for its gentle formulas, and the watermelon flavor is particularly mild and non-minty.
Tom’s of Maine Natural Toothpaste for Kids (Fruit or Silly Strawberry): Kid-friendly toothpaste is often gentler and has sweeter, fruitier flavors that are easier to tolerate.
You can also try brushing at a different time of day when your nausea isn’t as intense or switching to a softer toothbrush for gentler scrubbing. Many find they can tolerate brushing after a small snack instead of on an empty stomach. I hope you find some relief soon!
