I was excited to try this tooth powder. I didn't know what to expect at all as I have only used toothpaste from the store my entire life. I enjoyed the directions and knowledge that comes with this to help with the transition. The taste is very underwhelming. I don't hardly taste any mint, so the "Mild" description is correct. I'm glad we made the switch, though. It isn't a terrible taste, just not very minty. We also bought the strawberry to try. I enjoyed the strawberry flavor better as it is more flavorful and my kids also are enjoying it.
