what toothpaste to use for GERD as an Adult?

Answer

Thanks for your question. Although mint is both associated with acid reflux symptoms and a popular flavor for toothpaste, that should not matter since you are not swallowing toothpaste. Because GERD can sometimes eat away at tooth enamel, you may want to try and find a toothpaste that helps strengthen tooth enamel. There are plenty of brands who market products like this, so perhaps try to find the one that you like the best. I hope this helps.
