Are you an old master at this point when it comes to choosing and using toothpaste? Did you just shake your head violently from side to side? If so, don’t worry: This seemingly easy but often surprisingly complex topic is something that can trip up just about anyone from time to time. The great news is that once you have a firm grasp on effective shopping and usage of dental hygiene products, you’ll always know what to do.
Quiz Questions: True or False?
- True or False: If your children complain that they don’t like your toothpaste, you should consider what they’re saying. Children’s paste is typically formulated for younger smiles and is often offered in much gentler, enjoyable flavors.
- True or False: If you aren’t happy with your toothpaste selection, it’s wasteful to try a new flavor out. You should just use anything that works.
- True or False: You should spend some time figuring out the smallest amount of toothpaste you can use before you end up with a smile that feels unclean, so you can save money on your dental hygiene.
Quiz Answers
- True. This is accurate! For younger kids, look for the area of your dental hygiene aisle that specifically offers kids’ products. They’ll offer a better experience, so little ones like dental care, rather than dislike it.
- False. Whatever it takes for you to like your dental care products is usually worth it! It’s not wasteful to find a paste you like. It’s proactive and can only benefit you.
- False. You need a pea-size serving of toothpaste or your dental hygiene isn’t going to be successful. To save money, don’t use more than the pea-size amount, purchase budget-friendly options instead of grabbing the most expensive, consider buying in bulk (only if you’ll use the paste before it runs out), and by focusing on the essentials (ADA approval, non-abrasive, contains fluoride) for cost-friendly purchases.
