Dentist

[bunn]

I am one of the 'fluoride generation': or so my shiny new dentist tells me. Although this was my first dentist visit in 9 years, my teeth are reported to be in amazingly good condition and astonishingly clean.  Go teeth! 

Dentist tried to sell me Colgate as apparently far more effective than other toothpastes.  Told him I didn't like the taste.  Dentist non-plussed by this but as he'd just been raving about my astonishingly clean teeth, I felt it was OK to go on using toothpaste that doesn't make me retch. 

I don't know why practically all toothpaste is minty -  and why it has to be such a powerful mint!  It's horrible!.    My currently preferred one is Kingfisher Fennel (sort of aniseedy) , though I reckon a really good flavour would be clove and cinnamon.  Mmmmm cinnamon.

I used to use Kingfisher too, although money woes mean that I get whichever is on offer in Snaseburies (so a variant of Colgate, or currently Aquafresh - which has stripes !:) )

I'm on Coop own brand at the mo, cos other supermarkets are Far Away, and the Coop stuff is at least not animal tested. Only place to get the fennel toothpaste here is Waitrose, which is lovely, but neither cheap nor terribly convenient.

(Am prepared to reluctantly accept animal testing on products where it saves lives, but not for marginally cleaner teeth. Just do not consider my teeth that important!).

Aquafresh is another foul minty one no? Yuck mint. Think the Coop economise on mint flavouring, so their paste is relatively inoffensive.
