If your morning routine involves a lot of travelling before normal people are out of bed, or you're a party animal you may find yourself annoyed at exactly how refreshing most toothpastes are, indeed I find it next to impossible to sleep straight after brushing my teeth. I propose that the refreshing
component of toothpastes is separated out so you can have exactly as much zing as you like.

Doctor Burt's Children's Toothpaste

uses calcium carbonate (natural chalk) and bentonite (natural clay) to gently and effectively clean and polish teeth. Our toothpaste helps develop good oral hygiene habits at an early age with its good-for-you ingredients and mild fruity flavor that children (and adults!) will love. [half, Oct 05 2004]

All right, I'll pull out the big guns then...(link) |

Princess Pink Bubble Gum, natural chalk and clay...surely one of those should be zingless enough. :-) |

my grandma swore by it. mind you she only had one tooth. (central eating) |

My mum is a bit of a shopping fiend - she keeps buying groceries and toiletries without checking if she actually needs them. Consequently my parents house is a shrine to the out of date. Last time I was there I inadvertently tried some toothpaste from the early nineties. Eugh. No mintiness, no zinginess. Totally grim. |

//Perhaps a nice vanilla flavour would be nice?// I don't know... the temptation to consume may be great at times of tiredness. |
|
| |
Tom's (of Maine) has a kid's paste
in Strawberry flavor with no zing at
all, but also not dull. I didn't feel I
got my teeth clean the time I tried
it though. Maybe I'm conditioned
to the zing. |

[BrauBeaton], word on the street is that fluoride isn't particularly a winner |
|
| |
Bloody Mary flavor toothpaste. Mmm. |
|
| |
Well, there's an invention: edible toothpaste. After the sqeaky clean finish, consume the tasty [vanilla] goodness. |

chronic blood pressure, but sparkly teeth! |

Excellent Idea. I forsee one of those marketting opportunities where they sell you a dual dispenser - with the cleany bit in one part and the zingy bit in the other part so that you can configure your toothcleaning experience to suit your preference. In fact they could use a three part dispenser so you could mix up a zingy morning brew, but your night-time blend would feature a sleep-promoting relaxant instead. |

//is there anything in toothpaste that you can't eat?// Yep. (link) |

How about edible Chamomile toothpaste, [neilp]? Maybe you're on to something. |
|
| |
Heh, would you believe that Chamomile tootpaste is baked?! |
|
| |
jon, you don't have to consume the salt. you may spit it out like any other tooth cleaner. beats Vim any day. |
|
| |
Mix one part baking soda and one part ground chalk in a mortar and pestle and grind until all the lumps of chalk are ground into powder. Mix in a bit of non-sugar sweetener if you don't like the salty taste. Wet your toothbrush and dip in the powder and you're good to go. |
|
| |
[neilp] you know I can't resist a moment of pedantry, especially when the pedantee (yourself in this case) has a degree in chemistry |
|
| |
sorry [H].. erm.. bloody foreign keyboards..ahem. |
|
| |
I don't get what is wrong with the Zing. it makes my breath minty fresh and kissable, without it ....not kissable |
|
| |
I can't even sleep well without a good minty brushing. |
|
| |
I agree with dentworth, minty is nice as you go to sleep, but the zing is sometimes terrible. Over the years I have 'collected' many tubes of toothpaste and this idea made me realize that I use Pepsodent in the morning, and Crest at night, because Pepsodent has a kick, and Crest is quite mellow. |
