We use Tom's of Maine, and I find the taste of "regular" toothpaste to be quite unpleasant now, though it was an adjustment when we first started with Tom's. Like so many things, it takes a bit of time.
Many years ago, right out of highschool, I did as so many were doing, and donned a backback and went off to travel Europe. I mentioned this to my dentist on my last visit before I set off, and he told me that I didn't really need toothpaste at all (save a tiny bit of weight in the backback
), but I should be very consistant with brushing. For the next 6 months I brushed daily, but only with water, and it didn't appear to do any harm. I was probably better off, as I gave my gums a better massage with the brush than I might have done otherwise.
