Toothpaste, guaranteed to ruin the flavour
of any food or beverage for the nest 30 -45 minutes, the only natural enemy of
orange juice. For some reason it only
comes in mint flavoured
With all of the diversity in products why
not branch out in flavours. Chocolate flavoured for singles and romantics, ice
cream flavoured for children, kale for hipsters, skinny café latte with a shot of hazelnut for
Melbourne’s office workers and bitter regret for the elderly.
Toothpaste comes in different size, shapes
and colours including striped. Toothpaste is now branching out just like Tim
Tams.
As a child there was only one type of Tim
Tam biscuit now there are ten flavours including 5 “limited edition” flavours.
I suspect that they are limited to the number of packets they can sell.
In the same way Toothpaste has gone beyond
the childhood novelty of a green or blue gel instead of the traditional white
paste. Now there are so many choices; hydro peroxide, baking soda, sugar
neutraliser, sensitive, antibacterial, stain removing, breath freshening,
enamel strengthening, micro cleansing and cavity prevention.
According to toothpaste manufacturers
websites, each of the toothpaste products are clinically proven to prevent
cavities, gum disease and bad breath as well as whiten teeth. If they all have
the same clinically proven benefits, then it might suggest that they are, in
fact, all the same.
Surely if the technology has in fact
improved, as the clinically proven result imply, then surely for the medical
benefit of all consumers then any previous recipes should be taken off the
market.
Does your choice of toothbrush affect the
type of toothpaste that should be used? If my toothbrush has built in plaque
removing and whitening features do I still need these recipes in my toothpaste?
With different length bristles, built in tongue
cleaners, gum massagers and cheek scrapers brush head that are angled,
zigzagged, layered, inlayed with charcoal built in floss and finger and thumb
grips that are now ribbed for her pleasure a consumer need a doctorate in
physical, chemistry and biology to make their dental hygiene purchases
What dental cleaning products should vegans
choose?
With all of these choices it is worth
remembering that scientific studies have suggested that gnawing of certain
would be just as effective, if not more so, than the no longer humble
toothbrush and toothpaste.
