I figure it was invented by a hillbilly. Anyone else would’ve called it a “teethbrush”.

he preaches a waterpick.

My 20 year old Sonicare toothbrush stopped working recently and a new one from Amazon was $25 plus shipping - I paid over $100 for the first one in the late 90’s.

In 1223 a Zen master wrote that he observed monks using pieces of ox bone with short horsetail bristles attached. If a tooth falls out in the forest is there a hygienist there to tell you to floss more?

And in Missippi, it’s good when your girl’s teeth are pretty—both of them.

Here's a
1970s Crest commercial - check out how the kid slyly shoplifts a tube of Crest right in front of the clueless shop-owner!

I use a battery powered Oral B, but barely touch my teeth using regular Crest. I spit out the toothpaste, but don’t rinse.

Do you remember how many flavors, styles, types, features, colors, etc toothpaste came in back when that commercial was made?
For all the youngsters here, the answer is ONE. There was toothpaste and that was it!
Then, in 1955, Leonard Marraffino invented striped toothpaste. “Stripe” was the newfangled toothpaste in the early 1960s and we were off to the races. Bernie Sanders continues to be dismayed at our choices today
Mom never buy into fads, least of all with toothpaste. We were a true blue Colgate household!

Anyone remember tooth powder? It’s all my grandparents used.I sure do! We kids used the toothpaste our parents bought, but somehow there was a can of (Colgate?) tooth powder in the house, maybe brought by a visiting relative. I used it a few times and thought it was a novelty.
But then, I grew up on "Bucky Beaver" toothbrushing guides and red disclosure tablets too. :)
Another relative used Ipana toothpaste. I loved the flavor/fragrance of it.

Isn’t there a song about that? The Girl From Ipana.
