No-one mentioning the bright white set of teeth on the bottom woman? I think it's a neat detail!

Babushka just has such lovely white teeth.
Last year I learned from independent consumer product testing agencies that at least here in germany the best dental care is provided using the most basic and cheap toothpaste from discounter chains, so now I use those. So much cheaper, so much more toothpaste in the tube and actually doesn't secretly fuck your teeth up.
Can you elaborate more please? Or give us a link to the report.
https://www.test.de/Zahnpasta-im-Test-4607097-0/ german and 5โฌ for the data, but newspapers often share snippets of it for free
Thanks for the the link, I will look into it. However, personally, I would not trust Stiftung Warentest results that much. For few other products, I looked deep into how they score them (via their videos and articles and then other resources), and imo, their score didn't seem to reflect a lab-test result, but rather "how we feel about it" result (I can elaborate more if you are interested). Here, from first look, it is much better than its other tests, however, having 10% of score for packaging (it got higher from 5%) is annoying to me. For example, it says "Five experts test how well the packs open and shut": I mean... It is good know, but I rather would have a toothpaste that is better for my teeth and opens badly compared to a toothpaste that is terrible but opens nicely!
and actually doesn't secretly fuck your teeth up.
Well that's a ominous insinuation without proper sourcing.
I just meant some big name brand toothpastes being very abrasive to (imo) a point of detriment
I recently started using Ben and Anna ๐ฉ๐ช because it comes in a glass jar. Also deodorant in paste form in glass jar from 4starlings ๐ต๐ฑ
yes i am slavic everything must be in a glass jar like pickles ok
The deodorant is interesting, I've been semi looking for a replacement to avoid the plastic waste. I see in the instructions they advise to wait a while before putting your clothes on, have you found this to be necessary? I used to ruin all my T-shirts like this before changing brands and don't want to have this issue again.

For another morsel of information.
My current toothpaste is rated at 125
In Italy, pasta del capitano
Sensodyne is the absolute shiiiit
Y y you brush your teeth with shit...Wait, are you Shooter McGavin?
A link to a reddit post? What was the point of lemmy, someone remind me...
Sensodyne is GSK now. I love me some novamin but isn't that American?
Haleon plc (British) apparently owns Sensodyne now of days, which was a joint venture of GSK (owning 2/3rds) and Pfizer. GSK has sold most of their stake, and Pfizer sold their entire stake recently.

dont you need content here? it wont happen when everyone post 19 post in 2 years
I was always under the impression that parodontax and sensodine are for treating something or other based on their marketing.
I use Kemphor by Verkos Laboratories an independent Spanish company and Ohlala by Ohlala Laboratories Paris, a France based business as the name suggests. I ended up using them because they both have toothpaste containing Xylitol, an ingredient that helps in killing bacteria, something that the megacorp brands obviously don't care about.
Bring back the original Parodontax flavor!
Solidox is my go-to. Norwegian brand, made in Sweden. Doesn't look like it's sold outside of Norway.
Unfortunately I bought a brand new Oral-B iO shortly before I started boycotting American products and now I'm kinda stuck with it. I don't want to waste it, but at the same time I'll have to keep buying their expensive brush heads.
I do at least use Sensodyne toothpaste.
No off brand heads you can use?
Apparently two brands make them, Cremodul and Trustnice; maybe a few others, but I'm not keen on using knock-offs because my teeth are quite fragile and apparently both of those brand knock-offs are much harder on the teeth. It also appears you can only really get them online from Amazon, which I'm definitely not keen on - out of the two, I'd rather throw extra money at Oral-B than a single ยฃ1 at Amazon.

I use sodium bicarbonate with a dash of lemon juice and a finger.
I use Brasso. I apply it with a toilet brush jammed into a drill.
Omg a real Russian.
I do it the Japanese way, but I do need to see if P&G or J&J make the toothpaste I use when I eventually run out (I buy in bulk) and need to refill. Oddly, US toothpaste is an oft-requested gift when bringing things back from the US. My best guess is the formulations in some such as for whitening can't be sold here legally (but, as with many things, buying/importing for personal use is not illegal).
Always.
What's the best of those 4?
