Why in the fuck does there have to be an entire goddamn wall dedicated only to toothpaste?

I can understand if maybe there would be more than just one, for stuff like people with sensitive teeth n shit like that, but there does not need to be like a hundred different tubes of teeth cleaning goo, all claiming to do something super duper special that all the others don't.

    As someone with a lot of anxiety around making the best choices in the things I get, I'd love a world where I can just get a single toothpaste tube and then go home, not worrying if that or other products I'm used to would be discontinued due to lack of profits.

    CW gross:

    I also remember like ten years ago when I had a supposedly premium toothpaste that peeled the looking of the inside of my mouth. Nothin severe, but in a way that's uncomfortable.

        Get something with 1400ppm/f or more (don't use whitening toothpaste), brush in the morning and evening, and floss after brushing in the evening. If there's any dental issues after that your dentist can help you out with em.

      I had to switch to an alcohol-free mouthwash due to a similar problem.

      Omg I totally feel you on that, sometimes it's just overwhelming with choices.

      My never again toothpaste is anything with baking soda, makes my mouth feel raw and get tons of canker sores

      Could've sworn I saw a study once that showed in general, giving people more choices beyond a certain (fairly low) point made them less happy.
