Toothpaste and Engine Oil

Insider's tip of the day! There is ZERO effort by the manufacturers of toothpaste to educate and/or influence dental professionals. I have to walk down the aisles at CVS to learn what's on the market just like everyone else.

That said, they are all pretty much the same +/- a few chemicals here or there. I buy whatever is on sale.
 
This thread reminds me of a post I saw in a car group on Facebook where a guy asked how screwed his engine was after his young son poured an entire bottle of Listerine in his engine. He overheard dad talk about cleaning his engine (he meant washing the engine bay) so he thought he would help dad out. He didn't discover this until about 500 miles when he checked the oil and it was a weird yellow-ish black-ish milkshake. He never followed up so I'm not sure what damage was done.
 
My problem is I don't like mint or any of the flavored ones. I've only found one I like, Crest Pro Health Whitening gel, it's the only non mint I can find.

The best advice I can give a youngster is to take care of your teeth, I've spent thousands of $$.$$$ keeping my originals.
 
I've been brushing with baking soda for years. Guess I've missed out on the fluoride.
Genetics, personal hygiene and diet are the biggest contributors to tooth problems.
Genetics 🧬 are especially if your blood type is O. Highly acidic naturally which is why meat is encouraged to eat. GERD causes lots of issues and the struggle is real.
 
About 15 years ago I switched to fluoride free toothpaste. I used to have at least one cavity every 6 to 12 that needed to be filled with the commercially available fluoride toothpaste but haven't had a single cavity since switching to fluoride free.

Individual results may vary so I am not advocating to go against prevailing dental advice.
This is false information. All else equal (abrasiveness of toothpaste, diligence brushing and flossing, etc), fluoride toothpaste will reduce cavities, NEVER the opposite.

It's not about advice but rather over a half a century of studies. It's scientifically proven beyond dispute, to reduce tooth decay.

Idk. Fluoride is pretty toxic.
On what tube of toothpaste or elsewhere, was it instructed to swallow?

I'm more concerned about the fluoride in drinking water, sometimes I don't have and don't want to bother lugging bottled water around with me. I get a lot more fluoride swallowed and into my system that way than through my fluoride toothpaste. IMO it is time to stop putting fluoride in the water supply, now that modern conveniences like toothpaste are easy to come by.
 
I have tried every toothpaste that is available at stores, and some boutique brands like Amway's Glister, etc... After trying literally everything I could get my hands on, I have yet to find a toothpaste that is better than Atomy. Switched my whole family to it and many friends, none wish to go back to any other brands. Worth. Every. Penny.
No, I'm not affiliated with Atomy in any way. I am with Amway though :)

Any reason why you prefer it? I see it available on Amazon with great reviews.
