Red pill me on toothpaste
🧘Mental/Physical Health 🏋🏼♂️
So ive just been wanting red pill after red pill, so whats the deal on toothpaste?what is it actually? Links please
Maybe another question is – if not "regular" toothpaste, what does everyone recommend? I've used Crest Pro Health for the longest time and haven't had any teeth issues at all... but if it's bad, what are the good alternatives?
I just don't use toothpaste, I think it's an unnecessary addition. A wet brush alone followed up with flossing does the job of removing the plaque stuck to your teeth. I follow up with a fluoride free mouthwash but I imagine that isn't necessary either. And you won't have any issues with your teeth using regular toothpaste, the concern is what it might do to other parts of your body
And to get the fresh minty breath.
I use Sarakan toothpaste from Amazon.
It really depends on someones Cavity risk, which depends on genetics (ie enamel thickness amongst others), diet, habits (dental hygiene) and medications (lots of antidepressant dry out your mouth for ex)
But I would agree if you’re eating healthy and flossing/wet brushing daily, everything else is superfluous
Tom's of Maine is a popular fluoride free toothpaste. Burt's Bees also has one. And some people even use Dr. Bronner's liquid soap to brush their teeth. The peppermint and tea tree oil varieties are the most popular for that.
Edited to add; writing that reply reminded me that I wanted to start using Dr. Bronner's soap again, so I went to their website to order. And I see that they're making their own toothpaste now. They have peppermint, spearmint, cinnamon and anise flavors. I think I'll buy a tube and see how it is. Because I was never a huge fan of using soap to brush my teeth. It was nice only having to pack one bottle of soap when backpacking, though. Shampoo, body wash, toothpaste, laundry detergent, and all purpose cleaner all in one bottle.
