Toothpaste companies must really hate people who are allergic to mint toothpaste, which a lot of people are! Apparently it's NOT supposed to burn like minty hellfire? (I'm fine with mint candy, it's only mint toothpaste that hurts)

I've been using Tom's fennel for years, but am now trying to find one with fluoride in it, and finding a toothpaste that is no mint and yes fluoride should not be such a huge and infuriating quest. still got some more grocery stores to search, but not even the children's toothpaste in the nearest one had any that were suitable.

alright the lyrics I put in the tags on the original post & in a later addition were kinda rough because I couldn't think of replacements for all the religious lines, but it's been rotating in my mind all day so here's a better version of Minty Hellfire:

Advise me, my dentist, you know I'm a hygienic man of my flossing I am justly proud.

I brush every surface, my gums shed not a drop of blood,  no single cheat day ever I've allowed.

Then tell me, my dentist, why it's never good enough,  why the pits of rot still mar my teeth.

I must switch to fluoride? But every option I can find  is full of minty pain beyond belief!

Like fire, Hellfire, this fire sharp and fresh.  To clean my enamel should not inflame my flesh.

It's not my fault! I'm not to blame!  It's Colgate, Sensodyne, and Crest who've set this flame!

It's not my fault, if every brand  has added twenty times more mint than I can stand.

Protect me, oh grocers! Don't let the menthol touch my lips,  don't let its fire sear my mouth and gums.

Provide me with fluoride, but not laced with the fires of Hell,  and I'll keep all my teeth for years to come.

Hellfire, mint fire, is all that I can find.  I may be required to order paste online.

(Thank you again to everyone leaving suggestions in the notes, I have a grand Toothpaste Quest ahead of me! Checked another store today and found no paste, but I did get strawberry kid's mouthwash that says "maximum fluoride", so hopefully probably that won't burn.)
