Best toothpaste
A dental hygienist told us that the fancy toothpastes that claim to do everything but your dishes and smell like fresh mountain winds aren't actually good for your teeth - the extra stuff in there apparently can negatively impact the main function of the paste: to clean your teeth.

Personally I like Crest infused with Vanilla. Who WOULDN'T want to brush their teeth in a sugary bath every morning?
My next adventure is going to be some Tom's organic stuff. I hope it tastes just as delicious and provides the same whitish gleam to my pearly whiter teeth.
Turns out they get whiter when you quit smoking.
You let me know how that works out.
Last night I bought ice cream infused with vanilla... and stabilizers.
Tom's is good but I read that it still contains harmful (?) chemicals. I still use it anyway, but tell me, does baking soda and water do the job effectively? I've tried (baking soda + cinnamon), but I don't know if there is a key ingredient missing that will combat tartar or eliminate plaque. Ah, the trials and tribulation of teeth. I am obsessed.
You're missing the floride... and sucrose.
I've tried Tom's Fennel and Apricot flavours, both fluoride-free. Fennel is so much stronger than black licorice that I don't really associate it with my bad black licorice experiences. Apricot is unusual for mouth-cleaning, but not as bad as the mainstream brands' citrus flavours. The only problem with these two - I've had it with some Sensodyne flavours, too - is the thin froth; it tends to drip out the bottom lip unless you seriously tip your head back. Note on the fennel: partner avoids kisses as if it were garlic-flavoured.
P.S. There is a pine-flavoured teethpaste in Russia; Veda Hille mentions it in a song.
