    believing in FLOURIDE-FREE toothpaste, different brands /off brand ones do the same thing. they dont provide any benefit at all. its a placebo effect if you look at the reviews, and then the ingredients people said they have cleaner whiter teeth, no sht, its because these other toothpastes are highly abrasive thats why they get a clean feeling from it,ends up being more damaging because of its abrasiveness., plus people are confusing ingesting flouride in childhood with flouride use in adulthood. and then comes the complain that thier teeth health dint get any better or they still getting cavaties.

      Been telling my family that more expensive toothpaste is just the same shit with literally a different taste for years.

      We’re still buying the expensive colgate crap instead of the cheap stuff that does the exact same thing… Because they say, quote, “it tastes worse so it must be worse”…

          yea, but what pisses me off is that they don’t say that. They say better taste = more better overall.

          If they just said they like the taste more I’d not mind but they always make shit up man

        I hate that 9/10 the only decent bubblegum flavor is Disney branded. Mint toothpaste makes my lips and tongue swell and I have no idea why because mint tea and candy is fine. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
