27. How do they get animals to brush their teeth??
Obviously they could use the dental hygeine, but you don't see dogs holding toothbrushes often. And cats would probably bury it in the litterbox.

28. I've actually brushed my kitties' teeth!
They make a special toothpaste, then they like to chew on the brush and it cleans their little mouths!

22. Aim is the tastiest
It's cheap too. No reason to switch.

Aquafresh is tasty, but it's too expensive, and messy.
Crest tastes like sour, minty, Pepto Bismol, so I don't use it
Colgate tastes like sugarless Altoids, disgusting.

24. I'm allergic to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)
Biotene is the only toothpaste made without Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, If i try to brush my teeth with a toothpaste that uses SLS, my gums bleed and ulcerate and I also become prone to GERD (reflux). I had to take Prilosec for years to stop the reflux until I came across several articles by Gary Null and Julian Whittaker documenting SLS problems. I switched to Biotene and within 2 weeks I was able to stop taking Prilosec and the reflux stopped.

The same thing occured to my sister. She has had TERRIBLE Reflux for 15 years and had the wrap surgery and STILL Refluxes. She switched to Biotene and stays away from ALL SLS (SLS is in soaps and shampoos) and her reflux stopped after 3 weeks of stopping SLS ingestion.

33. UltraBrite; cheap and tastes yummy. Started buying it when
Consumer Reports rated it highest; that was many years ago.
