I once saw fruity flavoured toothpaste and cannot wrap my head around how your mouth can possibly feel clean after that
- Aren't those for children, like for building habits and shit
  
  You know what, that makes a lot more sense
  I assumed it was for people who were sensitive to mint
- But does the taste liner after washing your mouth? Especially with a mouth wash? Listerine mint ones has quite a strong taste so I would imagine that won't be a problem.
- We used to have chocolate and bubblegum flavored toothpaste sold unironically to adults. I guess people had really bad oral hygiene then

I'd love to use herb toothpaste, but it all seems to be very expensive and fluoride-free. I found one I really liked at a drugstore in Paris once, but I can't seem to get it in the US.
- Like herbal remedy or just herbs besides mint? Rosemary toothpaste?
  
  Herbal flavor. Rosemary would be nice
- If it's fluoride free then it doesn't do much. Get toothpaste with actual medicinal ingredients
  
  Read my comment
- Best one I’ve tried is Florida free called periobrite by natures answer. Before that Blanx, but I havnt used it in a while or know who sells it.
  
  No, i want fluoride
  
  I was born Florida free

Better than asking a dentist is asking a dental hygienist. Dentists are dental surgeons primarily concerned with solving specific problems with surgical intervention. Hygienists are oral health nurses concerned with preventive care and overall health and wellbeing.
And listen to your hygienist. There is no cure-all toothpaste for everyone (eg not everyone needs anti-sensitivity toothpaste, the risk of erosion in whitening toothpastes might be a concern for some people, some people need higher fluoride concentrations, etc)

I have sensory aversion to mint and I need clean teeth. Cinnamon toothpaste does the job for me
- Huh weird. I’m the opposite in where my mouth bursts into blisters if I use cinnamon but mint is totally fine.
- I'm not good with mint either. Triggers my gag reflex something fierce.
  Using Mango-toothpaste at the moment.
