I was able to test them and I have to say that with the extra fresh variety the typical salty parodontax taste is hardly noticeable, you can taste the mint more. It is wonderfully fresh and definitely brushes your teeth super clean, while protecting sensitive gums. I no longer had problems with irritated gums or bleeding gums. So if you want to try Parodontax but otherwise don't like the salty taste, you should definitely try this variety.
