Therapist are like toothpaste. You keep trying another one until you find one that you like.
Most people would say shoes ..
I just switched to a new toothpaste.
How is it?
A little too minty.
On to the next one, then.
I still got most of a tube to work my way through. I think I'm going try the cheapest colgate next.
I recommend whatever the cheapest Sensodyne is.
Mint is milder than Colgate. Active ingredient is Strenuous fluoride which is better for your teeth and bonus points it reduces sensitivity to hot/cold
$2 tube of Colgate w/ baking soda & peroxide. All you need.
Why not just put washing soda directly in your mouth?
My chemistry is old and bad but I'm pretty sure that's what it makes.
Try it and get back to me once your teeth are fresh n clean.
Hey I'm not saying it's bad, just trying to save a step.
In my experience, Colgate tends to leave a feeling that the teeth and mouth are still not as clean as they should be — at least the cheap varieties do. That's while I scrub in there for like fifteen minutes.
In comparison, everything feels squeaky clean after Blend-a-Med. But idk if it's widely available outside of the Europes.
Do you like cinnamon? I switched to cinnamon paste and floss, because my cat loves mint. I didn't know it existed until I just searched out of desperation.
You don't like your cat checking your breath?
I do like cinnamon. So much so I just restocked my Wrigleys big red supply. I don't think I want cinnamon toothpaste though.
I like my toothpaste like I like my therapists, twice a day and in my mouth.
It took me half a decade to find my first therapist (that would be covered by insurance and accepts new patients (the German health system is fucked)). But I do believe I got quite lucky.
You should see the finnish system... there is no therapist on sight to point of being illegal by basic constitutional rights, and still nobody bats an eye nor do you get any treatment that helps.
