Colgate or Crest? Everyone waves vigorously to welcome Agathafrye

[Sally, la reina]

Yeah, I know, there are other brands out there. I myself prefer Tom's. But I can't always afford it, and can usually prefer one of these. But I hate Crest. It is so sweet. If given the choice, I prefer Colgate. That is all.

[Félix]

Same here. Total.

[smetchie]

Crest! Always. Plain old regular crest no whitening or tartar control or any of that crap. The giant number of toothpaste choices overwhelms me.

[Heidi]

I'm not picky. I like cinnamony toothpaste, though.


Those kids flavors are gross. And I'm not fond of the smell of my dog's toothpaste. It smells like minty ground chuck with gravy.

[Mary]

I use Creat Prohealth under the illusion (delusion?) that I won't have to floss.

[Sally, la reina]

Oh, I have to floss. I get ... what is that gum disease called? Gingisomething? vitis. Every time I skip a few days and my breath gets all skanky and then my teeth start aching. I wish I could be lazier about my teeth but it just won't work. It was MISERABLE when I was pregnant, the inflamation would make big mouthfulls of blood.

[Brittomart]

Crest!

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Crest, but I don't really have a preference.
I floss every day. Sometimes twice if I eat something that gets stuck in my teeth, like stringy bits of nectarine.

You all should floss, too! Do it! I'm looking at you all with concern.

[smetchie]

Haha Jackie.

[Félix]

Definitely gotta floss. Definitely.

[Phoenix]

Original Crest and my floss and I are really good friends!

[Phil]

Crest, with tartar control & whitening, on the SoniCare. Flossing is a must.

[janine]

i'll use any super-minty green toothpaste. i floss when i'm in the mood.

[janine]

for flossing.

[RandomAnthony]

I am flossing more lately...my dentist is on me about it, and I like him.

I prefer whatever toothpaste is on sale at Costco.:)

[Félix]

A dentist once told me I should regularly floss only between the teeth I would like to keep.

[Heidi]

I really, REALLY miss my Water Pic. I used it ALL the time when I was in high school and college. I want one for Christmas.

[Heidi]

Or my birthday.

[Sally, la reina]

Water Pic is a Fort Collins company.

[Heidi]

Swipe one for me, Sally!

Dentists all round the world must use the same line. :)

[Lindsay]

My mom buys Colgate Total, but I like the Colgate Max Fresh with Mini Breath Strips.

[Sally, la reina]

I don't feel the need for strips.

And their moms embroider it onto pillows for them.

[[deleted user]]

Their mums are the only ones who love them. :)

[Sally, la reina]

Well, yeah, they raised people who want to peer into mouths all day!

[Sally, la reina]

What time is it in Australia, cyborg?

11.35am

[Lori]

Crest. For awhile it was AquaFresh sensitive, but I'm back to Crest again. My dentist told me to get the ProHealth, so that's what I'm doing.

Tom's also, never going back to either Colgate or Crest. Rather brush my teeth with a peeled stick.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Why, Zen? I haven't tried Tom's. How is it better than the others?

[Agathafrye]

Arm & Hammer Advance White! Best toothpaste ever.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Agathafrye! What are YOU doing here! Yay!!! :D

:::does a happy dance:::

[Sally, la reina]

Toms is really the best. It just doesn't taste so fakey and FRESH! . It is just clean.

It was all I could stand while pregnant. Anything made me vomit on my toothbrush.

[Lori]

Ya know, I'll have to give Tom's another try. Jake used to love it, the strawberry thank you very much, no orange. It's just that I need sensitive tp, and Tom's doesn't make one. They SHOULD!

I once shorted my keyboard by vomiting TP!

[Sally, la reina]

you vomited toilet paper?

[Félix]

Ew.

[Agathafrye]

Tom's doesn't actually work so hot, though. I find that Arm & Hammer keeps my breath minty fresh for far longer than any other toothpaste.

JACKIE! I just felt compelled to weigh in on this important topic. I'll go back to lurking now. :)

[Sally, la reina]

Flossing keeps my breath fresher than anything else does. IMHO.

Please participate, that would be AWESOME!

Everyone, Agathafrye is another Olympia librarian. Please make her feel welcome. :)

[Sally, la reina]

HELLO AGATHAFRYE! I'm so glad you're here!

Helooooooooooooooo!

I'm waving vigorously!

[[deleted user]]

Welcome to TC Agathafrye!

[Agathafrye]

Well shucks, hi everybody! Thanks for the warm welcome and the vigorous waves.

[[deleted user]]

They are lovely. Hi from me too Agathafrye.

[Jackie "the Librarian"]

Lots of cool people in this group, Agathafrye. You would fit right in. :)

And I second the flossing, Sally. Didn't I just say something about flossing somewhere recently? I like waxed mint floss the best.

[Lori]

HI AGATHAFRYE!

[ms.petra]

They are a crazy bunch Agathafrye. Stick around and have some fun!
Hi!

[[deleted user]]

Any relation to Dwight?

[Sarah]

Welcome, Agathafrye!

I floss, Sally!
I prefer Tom's to Colgate or Crest, but sometimes use Sensodent. Whichever one I use I use the sensitive teeth formula.
