Made for taste and sensory aversions. Created by a board-certified pediatric dentist for kids and adults who've struggled with every other toothpaste.

Why Dr. Bob exists

Dr. Christopher Bob and his wife are pediatric dentists in South Miami. Parents kept telling them their kids had tried every flavor on the shelf and couldn't use any of them. Adults said the same about mint.

They looked for an unflavored fluoride toothpaste and found nothing, so they made one. It's as close to nothing as toothpaste gets.

★★★★★

"My daughter is on the spectrum, and this has saved my life. This is the ONLY toothpaste she will use. She's very sensitive to taste and texture."

Mandy
★★★★★

"Today is the first day in nearly 63 years of life that I was able to brush my teeth and have it not be painful."

Laurie
★★★★★

"We have legit tried 10 different types of toothpastes, and every one was 'ew' or 'spicy.' And then we finally found this, the holy grail."

Mallory
★★★★★

"I'm so happy that it doesn't burn my lips or tongue. There's a real need for a product like this and it's a mystery to me why the major manufacturers don't make one."

What brushing feels like

Honest expectations, set before you buy.

"Unflavored" doesn't mean nothing at all. Here's exactly what you'll notice.

Mildly sweet, not minty.

No mint, no fruit, no artificial flavor. You'll notice a mild sweetness from xylitol, a plant-derived sweetener. That's the whole taste, and nothing lingers.

Smooth gel, not gritty.

A lighter gel with a gentle abrasivity (RDA 69.88, on the low end). No sandy feel, no paste that clumps.

Low foam, not no foam.

It's SLS-free, so it foams far less than regular toothpaste. You'll still see a little. Most people who dislike foam find this the comfortable amount.

No menthol, no cooling.

Mint oils are the usual source of that burning, "spicy" feeling. There are none here. Everyone's mouth is different, so start with a small amount.

Start with a fresh toothbrush.

A brush that's been used with mint or flavored paste holds a trace of it for a while, and that's what some people taste on day one. Open a new brush with your first tube so the first thing you taste is nothing.

From the founders

Hi. I'm Dr. Bob.

My wife and I are pediatric dentists. We made this toothpaste for our patients: kids and adults with sensory sensitivities who couldn't tolerate the burn, the foam, or the mint. We searched and found nothing, so we made it ourselves.

Unflavored doesn't mean tasteless. You'll notice a mild sweetness. That's xylitol, which fights cavities by starving the bacteria that cause tooth decay. It also contains fluoride to keep teeth strong and healthy. This is a lighter gel that foams less. It's as close to nothing as toothpaste gets.

If this works for you, share your story. It might help someone who's still searching.

Questions

Before your first tube

The questions people ask most before ordering, answered plainly. Anything else, email us at info@drboboralcare.com.

Taste, texture and who it's for
Does it taste like anything?
Mildly sweet, from xylitol. There's no mint, fruit or artificial flavor, and no cooling or lingering aftertaste.
Can adults use it?
Yes. Adults are now the majority of recent reviewers. It's the standard adult-strength fluoride level in an unflavored gel.
Is it gritty? How much does it foam?
It's a smooth gel with a gentle abrasivity (RDA 69.88). Because there's no SLS it foams much less than regular paste, though you'll still see a little.
Is it suitable for kids and adults with sensory sensitivities?
Yes. It was developed by pediatric dentists specifically for children and adults with taste and sensory aversions: unflavored, low-foaming, smooth gel texture.
Ingredients and fluoride
What are the ingredients?
Active: Sodium Fluoride 0.24%. Inactive: Sorbitol, Hydrated Silica, Water, Xylitol, Glycerin, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Xanthan Gum, Calcium Glycerophosphate.
What is the RDA?
69.88, on the gentler, lower end of the abrasivity scale. It's a smooth gel, not a gritty paste.
Will it still protect against cavities with no flavor?
Yes. It contains 0.24% sodium fluoride (1,100 ppm), the standard over-the-counter anticavity strength. Flavor never did any of the work.
Does it contain SLS or sodium benzoate?
No. It's free of SLS, sodium benzoate, gluten, titanium dioxide, and artificial dyes and flavors.
Is it peanut, tree-nut and seed free?
Yes.
Is it safe to swallow?
Small amounts used for brushing are generally okay. Don't swallow more than the amount used for brushing; if that happens, contact Poison Control, as with any fluoride toothpaste. Kids under 6 should use a pea-size amount with supervision.
Ordering
How long does a 3-pack last?
About 6 months for one person brushing twice a day, so a subscribed 3-pack ships every 6 months. A single tube lasts about 2 months. Brushing habits vary, so treat it as a guide.
How does the subscription work?
Pick a 3-pack every 6 months or a single tube every 2 months. You save 10% on every order, and you can skip, pause or cancel from your account at any time. Orders over $30 ship free, so the 3-pack always does.
Can I just buy once?
Yes. Switch the plan picker to "One-time purchase": $34.95 for the 3-pack or $12.95 for a single tube.
What if it doesn't work for me?
Unopened items can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. If your order arrives damaged, email info@drboboralcare.com and we'll send a replacement. See our Shipping & Returns page for the full policy.
