At least since 2009, Unilever got rid of the unique, mild eugenol/menth, non-minty flavour which was akin to the dentists paste, and the waiting room. Instead, they brought in unoriginal mint-flavoured paste. Other than Johnson & Johnsons Euthymol, EVERY other toothpaste is mint, so why get rid of it? SR (used to be red and white stripe freshmint) was taken over by mentadent and that's all you can buy in UK now. It's wick.

I am just glad that finally Ive found a toothpaste that looks after my teeth and gums after years of trying various toothpastes. I always used to have toothache after eating sweet consumables like sugar, chocolate etc but no more. Although my teeth need attention this toothpaste restores any fillings in the short term and I have yet to book a dentist appointment which I will need as a safeguard in the new year.Thanks you for Mentadent P.

Did you know, Unilever, that you were unequalled in as far as the taste goes. No one in the market makes toothpaste so tasty and so unique as you did a few years ago. Bring it back.............please

Mentadent P Original is the best toohpaste ever. That new stuff is wick, really horrible pink goo. I havent been to the dentist in over 10 years and i so so believe in Mentadent P Original. Come on Unilever, get your act together and give us back some decent toothpaste. I refuse to buy that new stuff. Its disgusting, and they have the nerve to call it fresh flavour!!!

Mentadent P Original Toothpaste is an excellent product but hard to find in supermarkets and chemists

Absolutely agree - what a disappointment. Yet another unique product following the masses into anonymity and, probably, obscurity.
We have bought Mentadent Original for years for it's great taste and the confidence we have in it as a toothpaste. Our three (now adult) children do not have a filling between them. Why change an excellent product ?

New so-called Fresh Mentadent P is the ruination of a once great product.
I have been using the original paste for many years and it has helped me maintain reasonable dental health.
When I opened a 'fresh' the other day, it made me gag. Horrible slimy translucent gel and overpowering spearmint smell and taste which I cannot stand. I had to throw it away.
Rang Unilever who said they didn't make original anymore but admitted they had received loads of complaints and requests to get the original back in production.

Having used Mentadent P Original Toothpaste for years as, as a non mint lover it was the only toothpaste I could stand the taste of, it was a bit of a shock when I was greated with the most disgusting flavour ever when I opened the new tube. (not only that, it triggered my asthma off, which was a little frightening to say the least). I wrote to Unilever at the time and the response was a standard letter saying I had to call a complaint line with numbers from the packaging, which I no longer had.... not particularly satisfactory as you can imagine!
My last tube of the original flavour is about to run out and I am deperately trying to track down some more...
I agree with you all... unilever must bring back the original.

Adding my 2p to the other reviewers

for years Mentadant P was the only toothpaste I could bear the taste of, others reek of spearmint or equally unpleasant flavourings which literally make me gag, now it has become yet another chewing gum flavoured confection.

I used this for years and liked it. My girlfriend tried it recently and loved it except now I believe Unilever has gone and ruined it, plus I now have my girlfriend on my back badgering me for the real deal. Bring back proper Mentadent P!

i used mentadent P original toothpaste 3 times a day when it was the original flavour i cant believe they call it an improvement it tastes stale and nasty i liked it as i don't like things that are minty and things that were overpowering i am not going to use the 'improved' one i will definitely be sending a letter of complaint.

I think the new version is like cleaning my teeth with liquid mint sweets. I find it disgusting and I can't believe they call it improved. The only thing that seems to be improved is the price!
