Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Good that you can't misspell the French name for the state in while in a public water system I guess, but I don't imagine that's a common issue.
floridaman here
now im actually going to have to start using toothpaste again just to get my flouride
and i dont even mean this as a bit you dont need toothpaste it doesnt help with bad breath or cleaning your teeth its only useful for the flouride if you dont get it naturally
this site isnt ready for oral hygiene trutherism
but unironically im serious. not a fan of toothpaste
I know a lot of people who have sensory issues with toothpaste (which sounds like what you're describing) have better luck with non-foaming toothpastes, but if that's still a no-go, a fluoridated oral rinse or mouthwash would probably help you a lot.
Also highly recommend checking out a cheap waterpik clone if you've not tried one, they're actually pretty life changing in much the same way that a bidet is.
i use mouthwash because bacteria and food particles is what causes bad breath, so after brushing i do the rinse.
also use a waterpic maybe once or twice a month if i have food stuck in my teeth, like popcorn but otherwise dont fuck with it. occassionally i can be good to clean out tonsil stones
