    You can erase that smell with an apple.  Or you can erase that smell with aluminium clhorohydroxate.  

    You choose.

    3 Reasons Why Apples Are Great For Your Oral Health

    Eating an apple creates an effect similar to a toothbrush because of the presence of fiber-rich flesh and skin. It has been observed that eating apples regularly helps remove plague and stains from the teeth.

    Eating an apple also helps get rid of any food particle sticking to your gums and crevices of your teeth. In fact, apples and carrots are hailed as mini-toothbrushes because of the various cleansing effect they have on the teeth.

    The IDEA is that it is loaded with fake chemicals. I made that up to make the point.

    Go for it, Jaimie.  I appreciate it when someone distracts him from his obsession with me.

       “Jaimie”?  I don’t know anyone by that name. Frankly, it sounds made-up to me.

      Too many to count, Sweetie. You'll have to be a lot more specific. Vague references don't do the trick here.

    Yes. 

    Almost two decades ago, I bought an expensive mechanical toothbrush kit, having fallen for the hype that convinces us how much more effective and efficient it is for a tiny motor to jiggle the toothbrush than our own hands. The kit included two or three changeable toothbrush heads, one handle, a recharging station, power cord, carrying case for travel, instruction booklet and a “special” type of toothpaste that supposedly enhanced the use of the product. 
    I think I used it for about a week, maybe two weeks. Nothing, zilch, nada, waste of money. It was absolutely no different than using a hand-held toothbrush.
    It‘s been languishing in the vanity under the bathroom sink ever since.

  • The new electronic toothbrushes are good, they don’t jiggle, they spin. I forgot to put mine on the charger past couple days, so I had to move it around all by myself today . It was the worst.
